Windows 10: Upgrade Failed - No Action Needed ??!!

Repeated attempts all end with failure and the message, This PC can't be upgraded to Windows 10 . . . No action is needed.". What does this mean? How do I get the upgrade installed with "no action"?

Then it later says (Under What needs your attention) You don't need to do anything at this time. We recommend you stay on the current version of Windows 10." But I am not on Windows 10 - I am on Windows 7 trying to upgrade to Windows 10. What am I doing wrong?

Background: I got Windows 10 Edu upgrade Product Key from my university store. My current Win 7 machine specs easily meet Win 10 requirements. I have all the Important Updates installed. I unplugged all external drives and USP devices. I used Media Creation Tool - first on a USB stick drive, and after many failures, chose the Upgrade this Computer Now option. I presume the Edu version of Windows is somewhat different, but I understand the Media Creation Tool is the same for all versions, correct? In any case every effort to upgrade resulted in the same What Needs Your Attention screen. Help.

What do you mean "no good"? At which step did it fail?

 

Upgrade Failed - No Action Needed ??!!

Thank you for the detailed response to my upgrade issue. I have posted my computer specs for the forum. Further information in response to delchina is as follows:

1) No I have not been offered Win 10 via Windows Update.

2) USB sticks were all removed. However I do have mouse and keyboard attached.

3) I did normal Win 7 login then I ran setup.exe on stick drive made by the Media Creation Tool. (Failed)
I made a disk from iso download and booted from the dvd. Booted up okay and . . . finally failed
I then did normal Win 7 login and ran setup.exe from the disk. It ran and finally failed same as when running from stick. The failure notice is:





4) The partition info is shown below: (I have done no tweaking with partitions.)





5) I use AVG Antivirus (as well as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and CCleaner - all doing realtime scanning I believe). And - No, they were not turned off.

6) Four log files to be zipped as soon as I can get to them.

7) I also have path/filename lists of windows folders if useful. (\$Windows~BT is a 95 line csv (text) file. \Windows is a 57,342 line csv (text) file. (Took a lot of typing time!! *Wink)

Any further help would be greatly appreciated!

Stuck in Windows 10 Upgrade

My computer seems to be stuck in a Windows 10 failed upgrade loop. I was running fine on a beta version of Windows 10, and then I came downstairs one morning to see it repeatedly booting, attempting to repair, then rebooting. The steps I've taken to diagnose are:

• Attempting to boot off a USB drive (with all drives disabled in BIOS) - this fails at the point of the blue windows screen
  
• Attempting to boot the machine itself and getting into "repair/safe mode" using F7
  
• Looking at the BIOS for obvious failures (e.g. RAM that should be there is missing) - nothing obvious is wrong.
  

I am fairly certain the build version was 9926. For many months, the system would attempt to upgrade, and then say "it failed" for some reason and roll back.

Suggestions for next steps?
