Use bootable USB to upgrade to 1511

@axe0 Check out Murdabenne's last post #200 and see what you think, when you get time. Your better at reading these. :)
Thanks Mike.

Since I currently do not have time to read everything could someone fill me in please.

OP did a upgrade from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro, then at some point in time, did a clean install (we think) since then OP has had many issues, with Windows rebooting 3 or 4 times a day, trying to do updates, and failing everytime. His last post he showed his setuperr.log.
After reading more of his last msg , looks like he has let some MS techs on his computer, and they have made things worse.
What I think he is going to do now is a 2nd clean install on a newer SSD that he has bought. Then re-install all his personal info and programs. Which he really doesn't want to do IF possible.
@simrick, @f14tomcat, and me were trying to help him 2 or 3 weeks ago. Just thought you might see something in his setuperr.log, that might give a clue as to what is stopping his Windows 10 Pro from upgrading.

Bottom line, the OP seems to be willing to do the clean install if he has no other choice.

Hi Murdabenne,

Could you please upload the logs instead of copying, I find having a copy of the log on my computer much easier to go through than reading it online where changes can be made out of nowhere.
This is just in case you're not aware of how it goes with uploading :)

If the file is too large try a 3rd party uploader like dropbox, onedrive, google drive, mediafire etc. and post a share link in your next reply

I've read something about chkdsk and trying MCT, what are the results of them?

@axe0 here is a recap I captured a couple weeks ago of what has been done already (if this will help you):

Upgrade to v1511 November update problems
W10 Pro x64
500GB SSD OS Drive
UEFI + MB protected BIOS
Networked printer

The apps themselves are mostly installed to my applications drive (drive E, 1 TB), with data drive (drive D 3tb), and the boot on a 500GB SSD. Games installed of "F" (for fast), my old 250 GB SSD. So most of my data, my big apps and my games themselves are unaffected by crushing the C drive, with the exception of User data and any registry info, and any DLL/libs they put into the system disk.

Failure suspected with drivers or recovery partition/creating recovery during update

Steps already performed:
MCT
WU
ISO in-place repair
No peripherals/SD cards
DISM Cleanup Image – operation completed successfully
SFC - Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
Reset WU script from MS
Macrium-paid version (backups)
DMZ
Verify/Set services to automatic

• Automatic Updates OR Windows Update
• Background Intelligent Transfer Service
• Server
• Workstation
• TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
• IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules

Chipset drivers up-to-date
Standard USB mouse + keyboard (gaming removed-ROCCAT errors)
ASK VG link:
Language settings – eng-us
Region settings – eng-us
Registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade (AllowOSUpgrade change to 1)

reagentc, and it shows Enabled, and on disk0 a partition Recovery\WindowsRE
Recovery image location is blank. Index is 0. same for custom

I see a few things that may be interesting, I would like to have a zip from the DM Log Collector to get a little more indepth information about certain things.

Please remove / disable items from the startup in taskmanager
These programs could interfere with the boot process giving you trouble and increase the boot time.

Please check your SSDs for firmware updates if this hasn't been done yet.

You have only mouse & keyboard devices attached? If this is or is not the case, please do NOT use USB 3.0/3.1 ports.

Heya. Im getting set to redo my install from scratch, remove all partitions from the main drive and do a fresh install.
...
Im off to reformat and reinstall. Everything. And use my Mac Word (bleah) to get my work done whilest I am downloading and installing a ton of drivers, etc.

Let Windows install the drivers!!!!!

If DevMgr complains after the install and subsequent updates finish, then you can search and downloaded any flagged devices.

Win10 is pretty much 100% driver aware.
