  3. Unable to upgrade to windows 10 (locked drive)

    Hi Leebar lett,

    We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    Before proceeding, we need more information to help you better.

      • Have you encrypted the hard drive where Windows 7 is installed?
      • Is the system connected to domain?
      • Have you enabled Bit locker?
    The error may occur if the hard drive is locked or encrypted. You need to unlock the drive before you re install Windows. If you have encrypted the hard drive, I suggest you to decrypt the hard drive and check if you are able to install Windows 10.

    I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
