Windows 10: Upgrade Win7-Win10 fail "USB device" w/error msg (KB4497935)

Using MediaCreationTool1903 I tried to upgrade from win7 to win10 and in its final stages it produced an error saying “"This PC can't be upgraded to Windows 10" error on a computer that has a USB device or SD card attached

“May 29, 2019—KB4497935”. . . . It appears that this USB-item was a known problem and KB4497935 was the fix. I removed the offending (and empty) usb thumb drive and tried to continue.

The message repeated (in a loop).

So, right now I am downloading win10 onto a thumb drive. (I am doing this because I am presuming that the previous download to the C drive is gone since I had to reboot.)

*** Anyone with the same "USB device or SD card attached" experience and solved the problem? ? ? ***

(I am trying to "beat the clock" since this is the last day for the upgrade 8-} Thanks much!

Win7 to Win10 upgrade issue msg "First Boot"

i am upgrading from Win7 Home Premium SP1 edition with activated license code to

Win10 Home; initially upgrade failed so i followed the MS directions to create a bootable

DVD with the Win10 ISO file.

After running thru the upgrade screens and on the 1st reboot, the windows screen hangs

with only the cryptic msg about some "First Boot" issue.

How do i get more details on what is the issue?

What can i try to make the Win10 upgrade work?

 

Win7 Gateway Computer fails Win10 Upgrade

I am covered under the late Win10 upgrade ending Dec 2017.

I attempted 6 upgrades to Win10 -- all failing - each time trying to address a potential concern.

Win10 Upgrade says that the computer is fully capable for the upgrade and begins downloading the files then moving in the installing process.

The process totally locks up at 75% at which time a reset is applied. The computer restarts and continues to 81% thereby totally locking up again.

The reset - restart at this point goes into Win7 Home recover mode.

One of my attempts was to totally load a fresh version of Win7 from my installation disk and making sure the latest Win7 drivers were being used.

A internet search suggested that this model of Gateway computer was not able to be upgraded to Win10 yet the Win10 upgrade process stated that all was well.

Please note - no anti-virus - no programs - just a fresh Win7 installation.

I did find some Win8 Gateway drivers available but did not load them as I did not know if that would break the Win7 OS.

After one of the Win7 recovery process completed, Windows reported the upgrade failed do to error C1900101-4000D. A Internet search of the error code states it is do to a driver related issue - hence my concentration on drivers.

I would like to upgrade this computer but I have no idea as how to proceed.

Can some direction be provided.

Thanks
