    Hi,

    Please assist me with the following information related to this issue:

    • From which version of Windows are you trying to upgrade to Windows 10?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • Does the computer meets the minimum system requirement to upgrade to Windows 10?
    • When exactly do you get the purple windows icon?
    I suggest you to create another USB bootable media using the ISO and then try to upgrade to Windows 10. Refer to the following links:

    Does Media Creation Tool download updates?

    It is okay as long as you download your Windows 10 media creation tool from Microsoft official website.

    Windows Media Creation Tool Error 0x80070079-0xA001A

    Your USB thumb drive needs to be at least 8 GBs.

    The error code 0x80070079-0xA001A means that the tool doesn't have permission for it to run. For us to assist you, we suggest that you
    follow the simple steps listed below:


    • Right-click on the Media Creation Tool.exe.

    • Press Properties.

    • Click on General.

    • At the bottom, click on Unblock.

    • Press Apply, and then OK.
    Let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance, feel free to post back.



    You can also download the ISO first using the Media Creation Tool, then create a bootable copy. Yes, you can use it to perform clean install.

    If Windows 10 was already installed and activated on your system, just proceed to perform a direct clean install as described in the following articles.
