  1. Stuck Checking For Updates


    Hi All,

    I reinstalled my factory W7 Home Premium x64 on a new ssd before upgrading to 10.

    Once I got up and going, fully activated windows 7.

    Both W7 (updates) and W10 installer get stuck "checking for updates".

    Neither W7 or W10 will get any updates.

    Any thoughts?

    :)

    And how did you do that the first time.

    As far I can see and read all over the internet the W121 is just not supported by Microsoft for getting a Windows 10 mobile build. See also the official lists I posted

    Correct me if I'm wrong but did you use a registry trick to update? If you did you are doing what here at the community is considered illegal and we will not and can't help you.

    The phone is not supported for running windows 10 mobile.

    Phones and devices that can upgrade to Windows 10

    Lumia Icon, 1520, 930, 640, 640XL, 730, 735, 830, 532, 535, 540, 635 1GB, 636 1GB, 638 1GB, 430, 435, BLU Win HD w510u, BLU Win HD LTE x150q, MCJ Madosma Q501

    and
    supported phones in the insider program


    The Micromax will never get a windows 10 mobile upgrade.

    You were running an older insider build on that phone a older TH2 build (10586) but that is no longer available for your phone.

    Stuck Checking For Updates

    Welcome to Tenforums HiddenTalent.

    Win7 is checking for updates and W10 installer is checking for updates? That doesn't sound possible, if Win7 is installed and activated you can upgrade to W10, it should install/upgrade via windows update, or with USB/cd upgrade install. Win7 would no longer be running, or available to run.

    You don't have to check the "check for updates" box when W10 is installing. I waited until it was installed, then W10 checked for updates, sometimes W10 takes much longer than it feels like it should take, be patient.


    Try one thing at a time, you can't check for updates on Win7 and install/upgrade to W10 at the same time if you're using the Win7 install as a qualifying OS for upgrade to W10.
