I'm off to find Lord Lucan and Shergar as that would be an easier task.

 

your hard drive is fine !! its happens some peoples !!

 

How are you doing the upgrade? Using MediaCreationTool or via the Get Windows 10 icon or Windows Update?

Disconnect everything except you mouse, keyboard and display.

I suggest use MCT to create a ISO then simply mount the ISO by right clicking on it and selecting Mount,then run setup.exe from the mounted ISO. You could also have MCT create a flash drive for you then run setup.exe from it under 8.1.

Disable your anti-virus and any theme enhancements including Classic Shell, Start8 and any other Stardock software.

 

Thank you will try all you have suggested am getting very frustrated.

 

Have tried everything you have suggested the last time it came up with system failed at first boot phase with an error during system prep I presume this is probably when everything I closed fired up again, if this is the way Microsoft want to invite you to windows 10 Ubantu is looking very inviting, I have wasted two days on this upgrade it is a complete joke.

 

Well I don't know what to say have followed all suggestions used MCT both with disk & mounting it to virtual disk, turned off external Hard drive shut down virus checker & windows defender deleted shell, but I am not dismantling computer to disconect DVD as somone has suggested, by the way have also used the windows upgrade tool nothing works 0xc1900101-0x30081 keeps coming up at 32% of upgrade does the files & 6% of drivers then stops.
All the forums say the same thing no one seems to be having any joy can anybody explain why when it downloads the upgrade it has to keep downloading time & time again.

 

Well God bless Microsoft I now have Windows 10 was in the process of downloading & burning new ISO in English us as the uk one did not work accidently clicked on windows app while setting up game on wife's old xp m/c like I am an old fart in my 70's & thought bugger it I am busy guess what it went all the way through & set up, this was without stopping anything virus checkers & everything was running Microsoft has done something to rectify the problem note all your programs are now listed as apps you will find them when you left click on the windows start icon left hand side bottom.
Give it another try hope you succeed.

 

Hi all, I am having a similar problem, Currently running windows 7 SP1, Windows fails at 32% while installing drivers. Have tried the install tools and also ISO installation, neither are working, stuck in the same place every time. Any suggestions??

Thanks

 

What are you running a laptop or desktop I only had trouble with my desktop the laptop loads no problems at all then when I could not get the wifes radio station to run the same as win 7 I had to roll it back can't live with them if they are not happy.
The windows app at the bottom right hand corner of the task bar is where I finally downloaded it from give it a try.

 

Hey Taz,

I am on a Toshiba Laptop, 2GB Ram 124 GB of hard drive space left. I have tried removing my MacAfee and Malware bytes
no change.

Thanks
