Windows 10: Upgrading Windows 10 from 1607 to 1809

Before you ask I have all updated drivers, disabled every boot with windows and uninstalled my current antivirus and using windows defender. So no steam, apple or anything else running during install...

Doing this to use more advanced ar system only.


O.k. Its not my first kick at the can when it comes to windows... but this is getting bad when you have to completely redue everything again, again, and o’ yeh again, it still does not work!

I was able to upgrade one of my systems, but had to do clean install on it...

On this one it’s not an option due to all the 3D developement software it takes about 40hrs to reset libraries so not an option.

So as soon as it reaches about 46percent complete it races forward to 73percent and goes black screen “almost miss blue screen of death” and left it for a day and nothing have tried this several times over with same out-come so what gives... Please advise a work around if possible!

Windows 10 upgrade rant..

The free space shouldn't prevent you from upgrading to built 1607. I manually upgraded my own laptop which had only 9gigs free space left on the system drive.

I unzipped the Windows 10 Pro anniversary edition ISO on my D drive, and started the upgrade process from there. At one point the installer complained about not having enough free space on the main drive, i just had to point it to the D drive to proceed to the next step. Now the rollback installation is stored there and doesn't clog up the C drive anymore.

In your case you could insert a large sdcard to act as the required rollback drive, i'm pretty sure it would do the trick.

Oh and by the way, if you want to further compress your System files:

• do a search Command Prompt, right-click it, and select Run as administrator.
• Type COMPACT.EXE /CompactOS:always and hit Enter.

You'll will gain anything from 2 to 4 gigs free space after it's done.
