problem with Win 10 upgrade from Win 7 64-bit

<< < (3/8) > >>

Boggin:
Probably one for tomorrow now, but does the media creation tool work in Safe Mode with Networking to download so that you could make a bootable disk to try the upgrade that way ?

Shane:
80070005 means permission denied. Make sure the account you are on has admin rights, what might be a good idea is to create a new user account as admin and try from there as well.

Also when you removed the nvidia drivers did you do it from the control panel and add/remove programs?

TelKen:
Yes, I used my Admin account, also Control Panel add/remove.

Will run through it again. But don't expect any miracle yet!

I do run an external USB memory cache add/on (64Gb), as I found this to improve performance, and it runs out of sight, so had forgotten it.
been running without fault for over a year. Will remove it see if that might help.?

Shane:
To be honest, anything and everything that you can uninstall that you can put back on after the upgrade will make things go better. The less Windows has to try and move over for the upgrade, the better chance it will have of doing it :-)

Boggin:
With the 80070005 error, some have had success after activating the hidden admin account and logging in with that, but it hasn't been a one size fits all.

To activate the hidden admin account, run a command prompt as an admin by going Start - type cmd then right click on cmd and select Run as administrator - accept the UAC then enter net user administrator /active:yes

Enter exit to close the cmd prompt then reboot where you will see the Administrator icon on the desktop to log in with.

When done, turn off the hidden account by using active:no as that account should not be used full time for security reasons and just for troubleshooting.
