  1. Win Upgrade - "Something happened, Windows 10 installation has failed"


    Good morning,
    I have a Dell Inspiron 32 bit machine that I am trying to upgrade (one of about 10) from Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit to Windows 10 Enterprise 32 bit. All of the Windows Updates have been installed and every time I try to upgrade to Windows 10 I get the "Something happened, Windows 10 installation has failed". My understanding is this computer is also an upgrade from Windows XP and not a fresh install of Windows 7.


    I have tried the steps outlined in here
    FIX: Something Happened - Windows 10 Installation Has Failed : Windows10

    I have also tried this through safe mode. It has not fixed the problem.


    I have been working through this as a possible solution
    https://www.tenforums.com/installati...d-error-3.html

    However, when I go through the steps disk 0 (the only one in the system) does not have a FAT32 volume. Should one exist?



    I have been looking around on the machine for the Windows 10 upgrade log files and have not found them to figure out what error I am actually hitting.

    Where do I find the log files?

    :)
