    Upgrade Install Stuck on "Checking for Updates"


    I've decided to upgrade my Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 with the free upgrade. Unfortunately, it has been stuck "Checking for Updates" for the last 30-45 minutes. Is this normal? I've updated two laptops, one Windows 7 Home and one Windows 8 and it didn't take nearly this long. I'm afraid I'm stuck in some kind of loop. I've searched the forum and couldn't find anything.

    :)

    Enter on keypad " no. + # "

    petrib is correct. It is a shortcut to SIM numbers.

    Numbers on your SIM might not be in the position you think. Just because they appear sorted in alphabetical order in the contacts list doesn't mean that they appear in that same order on the SIM. On the SIM they appear in the order in which you input them,
    unless you delete a number in which case the next one entered takes its place.

    Don't give up. I started Win 10 upgrade on Sunday, 6th, and it took 16 hours for it to complete the "Checking For Updates" to finish. I was about to dump the PC and get a new one, when I yaken another look at the monitor and behold there it was...saying it had completed the updates. I finally finish the transfer last night about 7*Tonguem

    Of the 6 or so machines that I have upgraded, I have never seen evidence of anything good coming out of "checking for updates" at the start of the install process. Provided you have a network card supported by Win10 natively (most are) so that you can do this after 1st Win10 boot, it makes more sense to do the upgrade offline.
