Windows 10: Windows 7 upgrade to Windows 10...

I've tried a number of times to update Windows 7 to Windows 10, using Microsoft MCT. Each and every times the upgrade process seemingly finishes to 100%, but instead of rebooting the first time, it pops up this error message on the Windows 7 desktop:





The system in question:

Power supply Seasonic 650W
Motherboard: Asus P8P67 LE
BIOS date: 09/2013, latest available
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, retail purchase
CPU: i5 2500K, Sandy Bridge
Memory: 8 GBs
Page file: 16GBs, on "C" drive
Graphic card: Radeon HD 6870, one GBs memory
System drive: 250GBs Samsung 850 EVO, SATA
Data drive: 250GBs Samsung 850 EVO, SATA
Storage drive: One TB Seagate HDD
CD/DVD drive: LG Re-writable DVD
Network card: Realtek
Audio: Realtek

Prior to starting the update, either from a USB stick, or doing online via MCT, the following services/application were disabled:

• Vipre A/V
• Malwarebytes 3.x
• Microsoft EMET
• Macrium Reflect service
• Samsung Magician

This is a small business system and as such, all software is licensed, including QuickBooks 2012 and 2018.

I am not certain, if the video card, or the Realtek audio/network that bounce the update to Windows 10> Any suggestion is welcome.
TIA...

Windows10 upgrade

 

Missing Operating System after Windows 10 download

Is there anywhere to download replacement OS for Windows 7 Home Premium? Mine crashed on Windows 10 upgrade.

 

See if this step helps:

replace: C:\Windows10Upgrade\wimgapi.dll
with: C:\Windows\System32\wimgapi.dll

Open file explorer > this PC > C:
Open system32 folder > Find wimgapi.dll > copy
Close the folder.
Find Windows10upgrade folder
Double click on that folder.
Then right mouse click and select paste.
You'll then be asked if you wish to replace the wimgapi.dll file with the new one.
Select yes. . and it should replace the file for you.
Close the folders down, restart the upgrade assistant and all should now be working.

 

Thanks z....

The file named "C:\Windows\System32\wimgapi.dll" does exists in Windows 7, with the date of 07.13.2009.

On the other hand, it does not exist in Windows 10 USB drive. These are the file names starting with "wim" that are in Windows 10, with file dates:

The "setuperr.log" starts with these errors:

The end of the same log file shows these errors, after 45 pages of other errors::

Searching for the "0x8007001F" error found a number of suggested remediation, such as disable A/V, run "sfc', clean up the drive, etc., that I've done already a number of times.

The same error at this forum for the anniversary update:

Windows 10 anniversary update - error code 0x8007001f - Windows 10 Forums

Frustrating and at this point a new system seems like less headache...

 

Perform the following steps:

Update the system specs in the "My Computer" section:

Post images into the thread for any items that were fixed or failed to be fixed.

 

The system in question is not mine, and the initial posting included the system specs:

Left out is wired printers, one color the other is monochrome, and the Antac P100 case.

The AV/firewall list was part of the first post as well:

And yes, all of them had been disabled prior to starting the update.

The system and data drives are SSD drives and to my knowledge, running disk utilities for the SSD drive doesn't do any good. Windows 7 runs just fine, no issues with the SSD drive. Running "hdtune" later today will probably just confirm that. I did run the AS SSD and Samsung benchmarks and they showed no issues.

The "sfc /scannow" did run a number of times, after each failed update as well, and reported no system violation, or issue.

The system in question has the "System Restore" disabled, prefer image backup. Macrium Reflect runs a daily image backup for both the system and the data SSD drives to an external eSATA drive.

I don't use OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.; uploading the requested files is a no go. I can locate all of the files listed in your post manually.
I will run the fix update MS tool later today, although the update is working.

The video card drive is rather old, just downloaded the last one for the HD series that doubles as WHQL driver for Windows 10, will install it later today....

 

Can the person who owns the computer start a thread in our sister website Seven Forums and post the Panther logs?

Or can you perform some troubleshooting steps > perform an upgrade > and if it fails post Panther logs?

 

I have access to the system in question, let me know the file names (logs) you're looking for...

Thanks z...

 

These files: msinfo32, dxdiag, mini dumps, memory dumps, drivers, hosts, install, uninstall, services, startup, event files, all of the Panther logs that can be found, etc.

Running this command may be easy to capture many of the on the desktop:

Please run these commands to post test results into the thread:
1) sfc /scannow
2) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
3) chkdsk /x /f /r
4) Windows update troubleshooter
5) Please post an image of Disk management > widen the columns for volume and status > make sure the contents within these column headings is not cut off.

Thanks for your help z...

Windows update troubleshooter did not fix all issues:





The "sfc ..." command found no issues:





Disk manager:





The "dism /online...." exits with error 87:





I'll zip up and upload the output of the "md "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\CollectedFiles..." in the next post...

 

The "CollectedFiles" folder is too large to upload. Removed the "eventlog.txt" file and zipped up the folder content:

Collected Files.zip

The "eventlog.txt" file zipped:

eventlog.zip

The attached "setuperr.log" is from the last time Windows 10 update failed:

setuperr.log

The attached "setupact.log" (zipped) is from the last time Windows 10 update failed:

setupact.zip

 

I did not run the "chkdsk /x /f /r" command for the SSD system drive. On the other hand, checked the status of the drive via the Samsung Magician:





While the Samsung Magician performance test is misleading, here's the result:





The AS SSD benchmark just as misleading as the above:





The raw performance of the Samsung 840 PRO is probably similar to the other SSD in the system, Samsung 850 EVO:

 

The MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition image capture:





Uninstalled the software; every time the program starts, it pops up an ad...

The result of the "dxdiag", after the video driver had been updated to the WHQL version:

DxDiag2.txt

 

Looks like USB driver problem.

Unplug all USB things (disks, keyboards whatever), then to be on the safe side uninstall your display driver through device manager so you only have MS basic, reboot and try again.

If that doesn't work backup and try this before EOY to register your free upgrade (apparently it may stop then but it may have stopped in August 2016 so who knows).
