Windows 10: Windows 10 upgrade failing and restoring back win 7

Upgrading a windows 7 32 bit desktop using a dvd to windows 10 failiing everytime it reaches 17%, restarts and begins restoring to previous version i.e windows 7.







:)

 

Win 10 upgrade deactivates Win 7 after fail.

PC with Win 7 Ultimate had been upgraded to Win 10 but reverted to Win 7 Ult. Now trying to restore Win 10 by doing upgrade fails and DEACTIVATES Win 7 Ult?

 

Win 10 1511 10586

Been on Win 10 for about 6 weeks upgraded from Win 7. Win Update listed Above update avail. Loaded it but it failed at restart. Could not then restart PC. Used repair disk to boot and system restore back to orig Win 10 ver. Got error 0x80000fff problem
during restore which appears to be a vista / win 7 restore issue. Fix will not run on Win 10. Any suggestions

 

There are many reasons why an upgrade from 7 to 10 might fail. This Google Search will point you at most of them. But that early on in the process, I have to wonder if the most likely cause might not be whatever antivirus package you have installed on your PC. Try disabling that, then try the install again. This has helped many people get past early-installation phase hurdles.
HTH,

I did uninstall the antivirus before upgrading,

Thanks for the google search let me see if it helps

 

Disabling AV is of course important.

That being said, I want to ask you if it is important to you to upgrade instead of clean install? I mean, do you have some software that can't be reinstalled or some other reason not to do a clean install?

I would recommend you doing a clean install, following instructions told in this tutorial: Clean Install Windows 10 Directly without having to Upgrade First Installation Upgrade Tutorials

 

Yes, the computer contains sensitive info and has programs and certificates that are used to conduct transactions. Upgrade is the only option. Problem is we spent 2 days trying to upgrade, with no success. Initially we used the media creation tool provided by microsoft to try upgrade by using the assistive technology route. Didn't work, so we bought a windows 10 pro license, only to get stuck as above. Fustrations all around.

 

Wouldn`t downloading the Iso file and running setup from within W7 work ? And not using the dvd ? Maybe the dvd is corrupt, did you create it ?

I just downloaded the FCU ISO file, took less then 10 minutes.

Do you have the Iso file on this particular PC ?

 

Yes we downloaded the ISO using media creation tool, mounted it and run the setup on the WIN7. This gave the "installation has failed" error when it was about to restart.

 

If you attempt another upgrade it will create Panther logs (expected fail).
The Panther logs can then be troubleshooted to find the cause of the failure.
If you see a failure code or a posted error that may help the troubleshooting.

 

Below is the beginning of the setuperr log.

Finally able to upgrade by using an old windows 10 1511 image.
