    Fall Creators 32-bit installation crashes

    The error in a pop up window that appeared after the installation reverted to my old Win10 version and auto rebooted states that installation failed in SECOND_REBOOT phase during MIGRATE_DATA operation... this is after attempting a manual install with
    the downloaded ISO file...

    Unable to install Windows 10, computer hangs up after expanding windows files finishes and computer reboots.

    Original Title: Wim10 install

    Hello. I recently upgraded my motherboard, cpu, ram and video card. I had Win10 Pro installed on my old setup and since the upgrade I am not able to install or use win10. I tried to install my old win7 ultimate os but the computer hangs up after expanding
    windows files finishes and computer reboots.

    I might copy all the old files to my external hard drive. Thanks for the information.

    Not a good idea so i just went ahead and removed the old Win7&Win8.1 program files on both ASUS G73 systems.

    If you don't revert back to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 after a month, the Windows.Old folder with auto delete itself automatically.
