problem with Win 10 upgrade from Win 7 64-bit
TelKen:
Hi Boggin,
I am trying last suggestion re admin, and 10 has been trying to download now for over an hour up to 30% so far. I missed your previous post and have been unable to make the MediaCreationTool open/run.
On an old Laptop at present, perhaps I can get it on here, and transfer to a USB card.
Boggin:
I guess it can take as long as it takes as long as it's successful and attempting to create install media from the ISO to load onto another machine has been a final solution for some - but you still need to get it to download.
I can't remember how long mine took - seems an age ago :)
TelKen:
Sadly after over 5 hrs. the finish came with the previous warning unable to install error 80070005.
And my attempts to download MediaCreation were successful, but it would not run as with my Desk Top.
I think I will give up on this upgrade for the present time, and try again in a few months time.
Might get lucky then.
Only problem now is how to clean the upgrading software from my PC, I've tried but each time I reboot it returns.
Any way thanks to Shane and Boggin for their time and endeavours, sorry now to have imposed my problems upon your good selves.
Many Thanks to all.
Ken.
Shane:
What would be better to do is to get a hold of the ISO of the windows 10 and then use a usb creation tool and put it on usb, then in windows, run the setup from the usb and let the upgrade happen there instead of through windows updates.
The media creation tool should have done that for you, did you have it go to a usb and then run from the usb?

TelKen:
The Media Creation Tool would not run. I did all my usual things after downloading setting it to run under administrator having unblocked it previous.
But nothing happens, I am trying to run it from the O/S Partition as one would most exe files. So are you saying the MCT.exe software should be on an exterior USB. I thought it was supposed to produce the Win10 iso and save the iso to a USB. Am I wrong?
