    I need help to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 ultimate


    Hi,

    For over a week I've been trying to upgrade my Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 Pro and after several problems I came to one (for the last 3 days) that I don't know any longer what to do.

    I reach the 76% overall progress with 1 or 2 % on the Configuring Settings stage where the computer reboots, returns to Windows 7 and displays the error 8007002C-400D.

    I uninstalled the anti-virus program went to the SoftwareDistribution folder I did as suggested by Microsoft but to no good.

    I really need some help to complete the upgrade.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro Using Windows 7 Ultimate Key

    I have a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate that I am getting ready to replace. The computer I am likely going to get comes with Windows 10 Home and is not available with Windows 10 Pro. I want to run Windows 10 Pro. I know that when I decommission
    my old computer, I can use the Windows 7 Ultimate product key to upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro. I also know that there is a deadline to upgrade Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 Pro. Does this deadline apply to just upgrades from Windows 7 Ultimate
    to Windows 10 Pro or does it also apply to upgrading Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro using a Windows 7 Ultimate key? If not, is there an anticipated deadline for this as well? Thanks.

  3. Windows 10 Product Key - After Successful Upgrade

    Hi,

    This is Sivarama.

    I tried to install Windows 10 Fresh copy.

    But it is failed.

    After that I tried upgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate.

    The upgrade is successful. And the Windows Pro 10 Version is ACTIVE.

    For full upgrade, I dont have Key for Windows Pro 10.

    Windows 7 Ultimate key is not working for Windows Pro 10. (Tried installing Virtual Machine).

    In future, if I want to do a fresh installation, do I need to install Win 7 first and upgrade?

    How do I get KEY for Windows Pro 10?

    Thanks and Regards,

    Sivarama

    I need help to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 ultimate

    Hi,

    the solution is probably simple.
    Make sure to uninstall your 3rd party Antivirus like Avira or AVG or Kaspersky.
    Make sure NOT to have any USB sticks or external drives connected
    Make sure that your C drive (system drive) has at least 10GB of space (preferably a lot more)

    The error is usually solved my uninstalling the Antivirus software

    good luck

    Hi Paolo,

    What method are using to upgrade? Via Windows Update or via installation media (usb or dvd)?

    Thanks for the help.

    I already uninstalled Kasperky Pure.

    I have one hub and I don't remember if I disconnected it.
    Should I also remove the device?

    I'm upgrading via Internet but I also have the ISO.
    Is it better to upgrade from a DVD? Or an USB?

    Some people who have had your symptoms and error code have subsequently managed to upgrade successfully via installation media (USB or DVD probably doesn't matter). Just make sure you begin the installation media upgrade from WITHIN Windows

    TIP: If you haven't done so already, I suggest you make an image of your current Win7 installation before upgrade. Or backup just your important files if you are short of space. *Wink

    Do you use the Windows backup? Or any other one?

    I use Paragon for imaging and backups but it's relatively costly. Most people here on this forum seem to swear by Macrium Reflect Free. Or use whatever you are comfortable with if it works and is reliable.

    I had some difficulty using the upgrade within Windows and what worked for me was using the ISO from MS on a USB. One thing I would suggest that if you're using a upgrade install from within Windows 7, make sure that automatic updates is disabled. for me that was keeping the installer from updating the files, and runnign properly. Once I turned that off, upgrade went smoothly.

  12. I had two WD external drives connected to both my systems
    when upgrading to Win10 had no problems with upgrade, so i don't feel having an external drive cause any problems for the upgrade.

    I need help to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 ultimate

    Hi,

    I didn't had the time to make the upgrade last night but I'm confused is the ISO installation (from mounting, DVD or USB) an upgrade (like Windows Update) or a clean installation?
    I heard and read groups of people saying that is one and others saying that is the other, so I'm confused.


    Thanks.

    Hi, I managed to solve my problems only by upgrading from a mounted ISO.
