Windows 10: Win7 SP1 Home Upgrade to Win 10 moves apps/etc to Windows.old

I've ran the upgrade to win 10 twice now and its set to "Keep personal files and apps" even defaults to it like it should. But all the programs and such end up in Windows.old folder like I said "keep none" (I assume that is what happens).





I previously reverted back to Windows 7 and had no issue, this is running the upgrade from a usb or iso, same result.

Win7-->Win10 not yet ready

I have two identical PCs at home. One is Win7 Prof 64bit and the other was Win8-->Win8.1 (I forget which version, probably Prof 64bit).

The Win8.1 machine was upgraded to Win 10 Professional 64bit ages ago, but the Win7 machine is still reporting Win10 is not yet ready for this device. How is that even possible? The two PCs are identical hardware setups, drivers etc. The Win7 version is
genuine, activated and SP1.

Do I need to communicate direct with Microsoft? The clock is running out for the upgrade...

 

Error System thead exception not handled (athwbx.sys) unable to upgrade to Win 10

Win7 sp1 upgraded to win 10 home after installation error appear

The error is

System thead exception not handled (athwbx.sys)

And the windows restart continously refuse repair or reset

I'm returned to win 7 again after to days of searching

I want to upgrade but i want the solution before

 

I see the same but most of the applications listed in mine are for Microsoft or Windows, none of my third-party programs were moved. None of my Documents moved and Pictures and Music are not even listed.

 

Didn't happen to me. Everything was carried over. You'll still get a Windows.old file, no matter what you do. It's used for the roll back feature. It will be deleted after 30 days. Once that happens you can't roll back.

 

The third upgrade I ran (while away) left it with a BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO blue screen. No repair attempts can fix it, I am now running a reset. I could easily just do a reinstall, nothing major to be lost just time. Thats why I have no backup, should have I guess made an disk image, but meh.

One thing I did notice running Belarc Advisor after Win 10 was installed the 2nd time was it showed as Windows 8 with a new product key, I guess it generates or retrieves on during upgrade.

As of writing the reset stated "There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made. However as I said both times I ran the upgrade NONEof my apps, doc, pics etc were copied over to the win 10 install.
