Windows 10: ready to give up

Hello everyone,

Well, it's day 5 of my Windows 10 upgrade attempts! I have literally been trying to do this for the past 5 days and have gotten absolutely nowhere!! I have followed all the instructions from here and everywhere else I could to fix this, but nothing is working. All I get is "failed update" or the best one "something happened" No kidding?!?

the only error numbers that have come up are 8007001F or 80240020 I have turned off anti-virus, I have turned off everything! I have deleted the files from the software folder, I have repaired or reinstalled dot net framework. I have downloaded the media creation tool but it failed to run. I downloaded the ISO file directly and created a DVD but only got about 28% in to it, then it failed with no other explanation than "something happened"

Microsoft started this by sending me the notice for the upgrade. I can only assume that meant I was qualified to have it. For what it's worth, I am running windows 7 home on a 32 bit system My system meets or exceeds the requirements for the upgrade.

What am I missing? Microsoft certainly isn't telling me anything!

Thanks in advance
Don

After the latest update my computer starts up then shuts off

I Thank you VERY much!! The first method you provided worked, Power Troubleshooter. The message that came up, after I did the steps was "Time before display goes to sleep is too long".

After the latest update my computer starts up then shuts off

When I installed the latest updates on my Dell laptop, I now have to turn on my computer twice to use it. I turn it on. It appears it will start, than it will shutoff. I turn it back on and it starts normally.

Suggestions Please!
