Windows 10: Win7 USB install of W10 boots to 'choose an option' menu > no Win 10

I have installed from the download and then created the usb from the media creation tool.

When it reboots from the setup I get the below screen:

I have tried the options but cant get to Win 10 - what is going wrong here?

Windows 10 Update, error 80070003, failed 4 TIMES now.

Hello

I found a solution, a bit brutal:

1. backup everything

2. create a usb key to install win 10

3. go in the Advanced restart menu to restart from the USB key

4. And during the boot the install should start

5 there choose the "keep Nothing" option (any other choice fails, or lead you back to a previous process)

best

 

Computer only boots into Startup Repair, then fails

Hey Efureie,

I have read your post several times.

I would further explore the Advanced Startup Options menu (ASO)..... but this time with one big difference.

I would boot from the USB installation media that you said you made. You are not going to lose anything by booting from this media if you choose "Repair this computer" in the second screen
bottom left that opens.

Many computers have a boot menu key that is tapped continuously during the boot process. This triggers the boot options menu.....you would then choose to boot to the USB installation media.

In the second screen that opens,

at the bottom left corner is "Repair this computer" option. Select this...it will take you back into the ASO menu......but this time you have booted installation media plugged into a port and that should make a difference with choices available there.

You have previously worked through these options earlier, but you must do it again because you booted from the installation media, and that makes a difference in functionality of the options. Try options in this order.

1. Continue exit to Win 10

2. System Restore Points

3. Startup Repair

4. Reset....keep files but lose apps

In summary, the Advanced Startup Options menu can work better with installation media connected and booted from.

Remove the flash drive.
Boot Windows 7.
Insert the flash drive.
Run setup.exe from the flash drive.

 

thanks for the reply.

thats what i have done, rebooted win 7, inserted the usb, run setup.exe from the usb. then after the install it reboots the laptop and then i get this screen above...
will try it again and report back

 

Do you have USB set as the first boot device in BIOS? Have you removed the flash drive and rebooted?

 

tried booting from usb, it works but asks for product key (which i have). unsure if the boot from usb will create a new clean install?

i need to run an update so i can keep all my settings, installed programs, etc.

i also unencrypted the system drive in case that was causing an issue, will try the update again...

 

solved it - had to unencrypt system drive truecrypt
