Windows 10: Media Creation Tool failed. Any way to find out why?

Howdy,

Have a laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate. It's a fresh install and I did not run the hours worth of Windows Updates since I want to go up to 10 right away. Windows is activated.

So, I downloaded and ran the Media Creation Tool and let it run overnight. I came in today and the laptop is still at Windows 7. Is there anywhere that the Creation Tool has a log file or anything to find out what the problem was and why it didn't work?

I decided to try to run the tool again but choose to create a flash drive of it instead. I then ran setup.exe from that and it said it needed to get some updates. It's now been sitting on Checking for Updates 0% inside the Windows 10 Setup window for an hour... OK. As I'm typing this the percent finally started moving. It got to 22% and is now hanging again... I guess maybe I do just need to let this sit more...

:)

 

Upgrade Win 10 beyond #10240 fails.

I have tried the traditional way (automatic), in place with media creation tool, and with ISO on a DVD

I fail at reboot time. That is, it says system is about to restart, and then it fails.

Any ideas?

 

Windows 10 Feature update to Windows 10, version 1709 doesn't install and the notification is very annoying.

I just tried to use the Media Creation Tool and it took up 5 GB of storage and then said Windows 10 failed to install. I wonder if there is a way to delete the 5 GB of stuff that windows 10 media creation tool put on my computer.

Yes, obviously that is the case. The upgrade process itself does create a number of log files, but I currently don't know, if or where the Media Creation Tool stores log files. I would now just wait for that percentage counter to reach 100 and then see...
