Windows 10: Can a damaged windows 10 image prevent upgrade to 11?

Curious about this and asking for someone else mine isn't damaged, at least I think it isn'tIs it possible this could prevent a upgrade to 11 or would a upgrade just overhaul it and fix it in a way?

Windows 10 upgrade rant..

The free space shouldn't prevent you from upgrading to built 1607. I manually upgraded my own laptop which had only 9gigs free space left on the system drive.

I unzipped the Windows 10 Pro anniversary edition ISO on my D drive, and started the upgrade process from there. At one point the installer complained about not having enough free space on the main drive, i just had to point it to the D drive to proceed to the next step. Now the rollback installation is stored there and doesn't clog up the C drive anymore.

In your case you could insert a large sdcard to act as the required rollback drive, i'm pretty sure it would do the trick.

Oh and by the way, if you want to further compress your System files:

• do a search Command Prompt, right-click it, and select Run as administrator.
• Type COMPACT.EXE /CompactOS:always and hit Enter.

You'll will gain anything from 2 to 4 gigs free space after it's done.

 

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

 

Preventing automatic upgrade from Windows 10 to 11

Hi,

I am running Windows 10 Pro. I'd like to make sure that my computer will not be automatically upgraded to Windows 11 until I feel ready to make this change. Can anyone tell me what is the best way I can prevent the Windows 11 upgrade from taking place automatically?

Along the same lines, a co-worker of mine is in a similar situation. The difference for him is it seems that the Windows 11 upgrade has already been downloaded but not yet installed. I say this because he has a notification icon on his taskbar saying that Windows 11 is ready to be installed. Being he seems to be one step farther along towards an upgrade than I am, I am wondering if he will have to take additional or different steps to prevent the upgrade from taking place.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Paul
