Windows 10: Kernel_Security_Check_Failure At 35%/Reverting Back To Win7 Pro 64-Bit

I would really appreciate some insight on this one :

I have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, legit, all of my programs are genuine and there is no malware/viruses on my system. I keep a very, very tight ship. I had reserved Win10 through the Get Windows 10 App and even though I have not yet been notified to upgrade, I modified that registry key as per MS's instructions, added the "AllowOSUpgrade" DWord Value, downloaded and begun the upgrade.

All drivers on my system are checked (i5-2500K@4.4Ghz, 16GB DDR3, GTX 970) and up-to-date, same goes for the BIOS.

Everything started normally, and at the 32-39% configuration range, I get the blue screen "Something Went Wrong" and Kernel_Security_Check_Failure. It reverted back to Win7 5 times in a row that I attempted it with the following :

-Disabling anti-virus
-Ran chkdsk /f /r and sfc /scannow
-Unplugged all USB devices except for a very basic keyboard/mouse

Mind you, I get zero error messages on Win7 and everything works amazingly well. I have a main SSD with the OS and an HDD for storage.

I can not think of ANYTHING else at this point...a colleague suggested I kill all overclocking of the CPU and revert it to default values but the OC is done via Asus Tuneup II-sth once inside Windows so I don't see how it can affect the installation.

If anyone has any clues regarding this, they'd be much appreciated.

Cheers!

Win7 Pro Upgrade 32 to Win10 Pro 64

Hello,

I have a PC which originally had Win Vista Business 32-bit, upgraded to Win7 Professional 32-bit, then did a clean install to Win10 Pro 64-bit using the installation media provided on Microsoft's website. I was unable to use my 32-bit keys to activate Win10
Pro 64-bit. After some research, it seems I needed to upgrade from Win7 Professional 32-bit to Win10 Pro 32-bit using Windows Update or installation media, then take that key and write it down and use it later when I do a clean install of Win10 Pro 64-bit.

Before the clean install I used a program to find my product key for Win7 Pro 32-bit and wrote it down. If I wanted Win10 Pro 64-bit it seems I'd have to do another clean install of Win7 Pro 32, upgrade to Win10 Pro 32, then clean install Win10 Pro 64. Instead
of doing this time consuming task, is there some way I can get a key from Microsoft for Win10 Pro 64 bit, provided I have proof of my keys? The PC is currently running Win10 Pro 64-bit and is not activated.

Thanks

 

Windows 7 Pro OA to Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

You'll have to do a clean install of 64 bit. Since you cant upgrade from 32 bit

But if Win7 Pro OA 64 bit was on it, it shouldnt have upgraded to 32 bit.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Anyone ever faced the overclocking issue before?

Updated: I also have an M-Audio Firewire interface plugged in that I did not unplug as well as a Bluetooth dongle. They couldn't possibly be the culprits now, could they?

 

Update: That was...pretty hard to believe actually. It was my Razer Abyssus USB mouse that was causing the issue. It's a simple two button, no programmable function/non MMO mouse so it never occurred to me to disconnect it. As soon as I disconnected it, the upgrade proceeded smoothly, downloaded new Razer Synapse drivers, I plugged the mouse back in, all was good. Just putting it out there in case anyone faces the same issue!
