Windows 10: Trying to Upgrade Keep getting Error

Dell Lattitude laptop, refurbished, with Win 7 Pro.
Tried upgrading from the desktop "Get Windows 10" utility. Part-way around the upgrade wheel get a blue screen that says Windows needs to be repaired, missing file or device.

Restored Win 7 from an image I had created on an external hard drive.
Tried again upgrading this time using A USB drive with Win 10 Pro image on it. Same thing.
Any ideas?

Hi Joe,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

My apologies for the delayed response.

I understand that you are trying to activate the Windows 10. I will certainly help you.

In order to assist you better, please reply to the following question.

How exactly have you installed Windows 10? Have you performed an upgrade installation or clean installation using ISO file?

A Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key cannot activate Windows 10. Windows 10 uses its own unique product key.

By default, Windows 10 builds are pre-keyed, meaning, you do not have to enter a product key and should not be prompted to enter one as long as you upgraded from an activated Windows 7 or Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 license or Windows 10 Preview
build.

If you are prompted to enter a product key, click Do this later
and give it a few days, Windows 10 will activate automatically.

Activation servers might be overwhelmed at the times because of the volume of upgrades, so give it some time if you get an error message such as (0x80070002, 0x8007000D, 0x8007232b or 0x8007007B). Windows 10 will eventually activate as long
as you upgrade using the appropriate method.

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

Thank you.

 

Could not solve upgrade problem.
Was able to do a clean install and use the method in Tutorials to activate.
