    7 week old Dell XPS has major Windows 10 Meltdown


    Dell XPS bought at end of Jan. Loaded "lightly" for biz dev and marketing type. Office and a handful of apps. Everything working fine.


    Loaded Cisco Webex last night for a video call - usually a Teams or Zoom guy. Everything worked fine,


    Woke up this morning and nothing booted right. Endless cycle wanting the Bitlocker image key which I inserted many a time with no resolution.


    4 hours on the phone with the Dell folks.


    -hardware working great

    -no restore points were ever created - why?

    -reinstall windows, keeping files failed x3

    -reinstall windows from local machine failed x2

    -reinstall windows after creating a boot disk worked but I lost my files I am 80% cloud and 20% local and those 20% hurt


    Ouch.


    Diagnosing, creating a boot disk, reinstalling office during a MSFT cloud outage, reconfiguring - wow - that was 6-8 hours and lost work. Ouch.


    Any idea how I can avoid this in the future other than putting 100% of docs in the cloud. What may have happened?


    Many thx people.

    :)

    Dell XPS 13 9333 - Windows couldnt not complete the installation, to install windows on this computer, please restart the installation

    According to Dell's official Windows 10 Creators Update page, the Dell xps 13 9333 is not listed as tested:

    http://www.dell.com/support/article...-to-windows-10-creators-update?lang=en#XPS-NB



    You can try a manual upgraded as suggested in my previous reply using the ISO in addition to the 12 steps before upgrading.
