DJW Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I know we talked about this last year when the Win 10 upgrade came out but I cannot find what the solution was. When we were in NE last week tried to upgrade a HS friends computer to W10 from Win 7 Home Premium. Win 10 upgrade would not dowload, it just keep showing loading but never did. I tried several times and got the same results. All the updates were done on Win 7 and all other programs in preperation for the upgrade. Does anyone remember what the solution was? The friend has 2 masters but is not that tech savvy. She just finished her 2nd round of chemo in 3 years last Thursday and now is looking at a double mastectomy. Was trying to help her out before the July deadline. Dennis USA Master Sergeant Ret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k4rs Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I have found that sometimes the best way is to download Windows separately and install from a DVD or USB drive. You can get Windows 10 here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO Safe Travels... Edit: Be sure to run the setup program from within Windows 7 (do NOT boot from the DVD or USB drive).

DJW Posted April 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Guys I tried both of your suggestions when I was there and nothing The loading circle just keeps turnning, all night long. As I recall there was some kind of file glitch with the Win 7 Home Premium and Win 10 upgrade exe file? Dennis USA Master Sergeant Ret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV_ Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Dennis, Use admin tools to look at al your partitions. If you have a tiny one that is like 70 mb expand it to 500 mb and see what happens. Use this tool, it's free and very good. https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/partition-magic-for-windows7.html RV/Derekhttp://www.rvroadie.com Email on the bottom of my website page.Retired AF 1971-1998 When you see a worthy man, endeavor to emulate him.

DJW Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Thanks RV But we are back in BV now and heading to VA for our GS's HS Graduation. Going to be on the East Coast for the summer. I suggested that her sister's husbands company IT guy take a look at it. Dennis USA Master Sergeant Ret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
