Windows 10: Windows 10 Upgrade (8.1 to 10) fails at copying files (23%)

Hi,

I tried updating my Win8.1 to Win10 twice.
The first time, it hung at 26% total, 89% copying files. Then it bricked my system completely so I made a clean install of Windows 8.1. There was nothing else installed than Windows & Updates.
Tried to update it with a stick made by the Media Creation Tool --> Stuck at 23%, 77% copying files.

I tried everything: Disabled Network Adapter, pulled all Cables (only mouse left) out, I also detached my second HDD.
I am trying to install Win10 on my SSD (Samsung 830 Pro, 130GB). I am running a Z77 Chipset.
I'd love to install completely new with the Image but that doesn't work because of the activation later on..


I really hope someone there can help me out.
I'm stuck with a fresh Windows 8.1 install now, that's not really what I wanted. I'd love to update to 10 since I had it as a Insider too.

Thank you!

:)

After I saw the DVD disconnect suggestion, I ejected a DVD I had in the drive, after sitting there for an hour at 26% and copying file 89% it worked straight away

I am having a very similar issue trying to upgrade from 8.1 to 10 on a Kingston 120GB SSD.

I have tried three times now (twice on a clean 8.1 install) with the same results: after copying files my laptop restarts and goes straight into attempting automatic repairs, diagnosing PC and sometimes shows a blue screen with error 0xc000000f or 0xc0000225.

I'm now giving it a last try and disconnecting all the hardware I can...

 

Problem solved.
Plug out SATA cable for your DVD/CD drive!
