  2. Installation Stuck at 64%! (Restarting Loop!!!)

    Now is not the 32bit ISO file. I just need help on how to boot the laptop from the USB in the BIOS. Like I don't want to mess anything in the BIOS. I have a Windows 10 installation USB flash drive but I don't know how to boot it from the BIOS.

  3. Installation Stuck at 64%! (Restarting Loop!!!)

    Is there an optional way instead of the Windows media creation tool? Like maybe on the BIOS or safe mode? My only working computer is a 32bit Windows XP desktop. I need help with the ISO 32bit file. What does it actually do? I mean, what to do with it?

    What happens when you try to restart?

    Personally I would hold the power button down for several seconds until the machine switches off properly. Even if it seems to be shutting down, don't let go until the power clicks off. Then try starting again and hope it works.

    The image shows the window, this window will remain on in a loop. I can easily restart the computer but the same issue happens upon launch of Windows.

    Do you get a login screen before that point?
    I would still try leaning on the power button to shut it down more forcefully than normal.

    I do not think you understand,
    I click start Windows 10 upgrade now then it asks me to confirm that it may take about 90minutes, I press upgrade now and that window is stuck on a loop. I can shut the machine down normally.

    Yes you're quite right - sorry I hadn't understood and thought the machine was restarting, but not letting you login.

    You might try the Media Creation Tool (Option 1 here) to download windows itself first, before running the Upgrade.

    It might give more information on what's going wrong, for one thing.

    Do NOT accept the option to look for Updates - people have said elsewhere on here that the servers are struggling and you'll run out of time to get the free upgrade done.

  12. Change the timezone on your laptop to Pacific Time and you'll get additional time. It added hours to my countdown timer.

    Why not just set the date back a couple days and really give yourself a lot of extra time?

  14. If that works, sure. Timezone change worked for me.

    Well...would look at that. I manually set my date to 26 July, click refresh, and wallah!

    So, according to your theory, the free upgrade will NEVER expire! Thank you for showing us that!

    Now, as it so happens to be, I live about 1 hour directly north of Microsoft in a little town called Stanwood, WA. So, I'm pretty sure that when my date and time are set correctly and their countdown timer says 8 hours and 15 minutes, the free upgrade is going to expire in 8 hours and 15 minutes, even if I set my date to January 1, 1901.
