    [RESOLVED] Why is my upgrade path such a PITA? (VMWare SVGA 3D)


    I still cannot update my Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10. Booted (EFI on Mac Pro 5.1) this morning in to my Win 8.1 and did the upgrade check, at first I was excited seeing this:

    BUT, then checked the "PC compatibility report" and grrrrrr:

    Why is my upgrade path such a PITA? One driver issue (VMWare SVGA 3D)-win10_2.jpg

    It's driving me nuts ATM. Why does this upgrade fail over one single driver?

    Thanks for your prompt reply! I opened the mentioned "Appraiser.JSON" file, the contents already meet the requirements as posted in that thread:

    Code:
    {"JsonSuccessfullyWritten" : true,
    "JsonVersion" : 3,
    "JsonCreationTime" : "130800491614668440",
    "CompatSectionCount" : 0,
    "CompatSections" :
    [
    ]
    }
    So nothing to change in the file's content... Confused now!

    Cheers

    Hi there
    I'm assuming you are running Windows as a VM - if this is the case try uninstalling vmware tools on the W8.1 system before doing the upgrade and in the vmware config / settings remove the check from hardware acceleration and 3D support.

    Upgrade W10.
    Now re-install vmware tools plus re-check hardware acceleration and 3D.

    (Note I haven't got a Macbook but vmware should be pretty consistent across all the platforms it runs on).

    Resolved this issue by installing a .ISO AU-1607 as an update for my Windows 8.1 Pro x64 SSD. Lauched the SSD in Fusion VM and updated it. Very happy to have a Windows 10 update that is activated.

    Thanks for your help.
