Windows 10: Windows 10 upgrade

Hi
Well took ages got as far as validating then went off again

 

If the laptop shuts off upgrading through Windows Update and using the media creation tool, I really don't know what to say. There is one other way to upgrade, but I don't know if the outcome would be any different. Maybe someone else will post a suggestion. If you want to try upgrading using a Windows 10 ISO file, let me know and I will try and help you.

 

Hi

I think I have nothing to loose if I try the ISO file why not , last chance saloon !!!

 

Ok, the first thing to do is download and install 7-Zip. If your copy of Windows is 64-bit, then download and install the 64-bit version of 7-Zip, same thing if it's 32-bit.

Download

Next download the Windows 10 ISO file

Windows 10 ISO

Next create a new folder on the Desktop. Name it anything you like. After the Win10 ISO is downloaded, place it in the new folder you just created. Right click on the Win10 ISO. Place the cursor on 7-Zip. A new menu will come up, choose Exract Here. After the files are exracted, double click on Setup.exe to start the upgrade..

If you have any questions, just ask.

 

Don't forget, when you start the upgrade, do not install updates. Choose Not Now or Skip. Read each screen carefully.

 

Hi

How strange I have downloaded the 7_zip no problem , then when I download the ISO file nothing comes in I can't fine the file anywhere .

 

I just clicked the link, it's working fine for me. Try using a different browser, Chrome or Firefox

 

It makes a difference what Windows 10 ISO you choose. To be sure you get the right one, download and run ShowKeyPlus. That will tell you what version of Windows 7 you have installed now. Also I believe when you choose the language, British English is International English.

ok done that but no setup.exe only setupcore.dll SetupHost SetupMgr.dll I did download firefox to get them .
Ther is also a MediaCreationTool

 

It makes a difference what Windows 10 ISO you download. You have to match the version of Windows 7 you have installed. To be sure, download and run ShowKeyPlus. That will tell you exactly what version you need.

When you choose a language, I believe British English is the same as International English.

 

You have to download the Windows 10 ISO from the link I posted. Place it in the folder you created on the Desktop. Right click on the ISO and put the cursor on 7-Zip from the menu. A new menu will pop up. Then click on Exract Here.

 

ok got my key , when you say ISO it says mediacreationtool i can't see a ISO file

I HAVE CLICKED ON THE WINDOWS CREATION TOOL AND IT IS STARTING TO DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 , I WONDER IF THIS ONE WILL WORK ? FINGERS CROSSED

 

It's not that you need the key, you need to look at the Product Nane. If it says Windows 7 N, then you need to download the Windows 10 N iso. If the is no letter after Windows 7, then download the Windows 10 ISO with no letter after it.

Don't plug in you flash drive or create install material. Part way down the page clich the little download arrow next to Windown 10. Click on which ISO you want to download, then click Confirm, then you choose 32-bit or 64-bit and click Confirm, next you language and click Confirm.

 

I see what you are talking about. The link I posted looks different. I was using my iPad to answer your questions. I think that's why.

Go to this page and download the Windows 10 ISO. Follow the steps I posted above.
