Just says Working on it

Glad to know that the issue has been fixed. Do get back to us incase you face further issue.

 

Just says Working on it

Turn off Microsoft Defender real-time protection and any third party anti-virus applications to allow the app to work.

 

did you reserve your windows 10 copy ?

 

This is my problem too.
yes, I already reserved it before.
My windows 7 is also Genuine.

 

As soon as I press Continiue to upgrade, this window comes up and for hours, its just like this. the last page mentioned: its only 10 seconds!
Anyone is familier with this problem??

 

This is what is happening to me also. Any help greatly appreciated!

 

Happened on my wife's PC also.

I went to the Microsoft web site, got into the Windows 10 section, and upgraded from there by following the instructions for "if you are in a hurry" or something like that. The upgrade went smoothly from there.

 

Will give it a try. Thanks!

 

That happened with my desktop for weeks. While waiting for the download to be ready I did my Laptop which I put in the next paragraph. Gave me the idea to check the Updates. I went to Windows Update through the Control Panel and found it downloaded waiting for me to install it? *Rolleyes

Installing my newer HP Laptop 8.1 worked better though I had some difficulties mostly doing what the other questioners were asking about. Eventually I figured out that my update settings were off. I adjusted them and told it to look for updates. It did a few updates and then did the Windows 10 upgrade.
That was my experience. They both took quite some time and some minor issues had to be attended to. Shortcuts on the laptop disappeared. On the Desktop it took many hours as my desktop is a 2006 Cyberpower. It got it done and works much better. The next challenge is to do the clean install on the laptop, but I'll wait awhile.

 

Did you have to download the media creation tool?

 

No I didn't have to for the upgrade but I did download it to create a USB start up drive to do a clean install when I'm ready.

 

Going to Windows Update worked for me also. Thanks for posting!

 

I agree with the post above. After an overnight "working on it" experience (14 + hours)--and using an ethernet connection to be sure a download would happen at the highest possible speed-- I checked Control Panel>Windows Updates and found the Windows 10 update application ready to launch.

Hit the "get started" button and then the actual download began. Once fully downloaded I'm asked if I'm ready to update my system to Windows 10--also to acknowledge that Windows Media Ctr will be uninstalled-- now the update is proceeding very similarly to a typical update with message "configuring update for Windows 10 with 20% complete--do not turn off your computer."

Seems to be proceeding normally.

Also, the window with the "working on it" message/graphic closed/disappeared when I launched the real download.

At this pace the update will take 2 hours tops.

Will report back with results.

Thanks, everyone.
