Windows 7 Update to 10
Last year, tried to update my 2 PC's, one with 8.1 and one with 7. Both failed on updates using the update process and an ISO burned to DVD. Tried for almost a month, searching the net to no avail and gave up.
Before the free period was up, figured maybe the update system was perfected better, so searched again and found on the Microsoft site, their Windows 10 Update application. Used it to successfully update my 8.1 to 10, so hopefully tried it on my 7.
However, after finding my PC is ok for updating, it downloaded and configured to 100% and then restarted, displaying a black screen with a percent completed in a white circle. At the bottom was 3 processes, copying the files, updating the applications/devices and configuring the system. It went through about 50% of the copying but then restarted and re-configured back to 7. I did this twice with the same results.
Unless someone can finally provide a solution to upgrade my 7, it looks like I will not be able to upgrade, but to purchase a full version of 10 and try that to upgrade or do a clean install.
