Cannot upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10!

Hey all,

I'm new to the forums and came across here as I was searching for a fix for my issue I am having. I am trying to upgrade to Windows 10, which I have done before on this machine but had to format my SSD and reinstall Win7. Now since doing that for the past 3-4 months I have been unable to upgrade to Windows 10 as it gets to around the 40% mark, reboots my machine and then goes into Automatic Repair. I have tried disabling the Malware protection thing as some people have suggested but still no avail. If anyone can offer me a solution I'll be very grateful :)



Thank you for your time.

Hi, how much spare space do you have on your 120Gb SSD? Is there room for the other partitions Win 10 creates?

You might try unplugging your HDD while you upgrade. Make sure any AV or theme-changing mods or software are removed.

As you say Win 10 is already activated you can clean install it without upgrading.

(And note: if you have a full Win 7 license, you can clean install '10 without bothering to install '7, or just do a clean install anyway:

If you already upgraded your 7 to 10, you don't need to install 7 first to get the 10 back. You can directly install Windows 10 and skip entering the product key.
