What exactly is going on while this mythical disc is spinning 'round and 'round? Prior to clicking "continue", it seemed like "working on it" was supposed to just be a 10-second device prep, yet it's been going for the last 3 hours and not doing anything. I'm curious if it's actually trying to download at this point, despite telling me it's already been downloaded.
EDIT: I should probably mention I'm upgrading from Windows 7.
Please be a little clearer about what you're doing.
Are you installing the upgrade from the download?
Sound like it's not going to happen without intervention. I hope that you can shut down and restart without incidient, although that's probably not a good idea in the middle of an upgrade.
As an alternative,
Windows 10
Gets you to the same place by a different path.
I was using the system tray icon that says "Get Windows 10." I ended just downloading the installer separately and it seems to be running now.
This helped me to complete the installation
