Windows 10 upgrade fails on samsung q330 laptop

Windows 10 upgrade fails on my Samsung Q330 laptop. It hangs after reboot with just the windows logo showing.

Apparently this is caused by the Broadcom wireless card and is common to a number of Samsung laptops.

Other users have been able to remove the wireless card to complete the upgrade but this is not possible with a Q330 as the card is not accessible without completely dis-assembling the laptop. I tried but could not get the top and bottom of the case to come
apart so gave up for fear of damaging the laptop.

I contacted Samsung support a month ago and they said that they are aware of the problem and are working with Microsoft to fix the problem.

Any other Samsung Q330 owners out there been able to upgrade successfully and if so what did you do?

If anyone wondering. Samsung Q330 with original wifi card. Just tried upgrade drivers, upgrade to windows 10. Issue persists as described. Not Samsung or Microsoft seem to fixed it. Understandable, no profit on maintaining drivers for 2011 laptops... Well
windows 7 is here to stay.
