I could use the W7 dvd to upgrade to repair 7 previously but since replaced starting with 8 by the PC Refresh option no longer allowing any repairs to an existing Windows installation. The live boot from the flash as well as trying a direct upgrade while booted first in the cloned host 7 and just now with a fresh copy of 7 still gets me nowhere with the 7 desktop returned being prompted that the 10 install failed without anything to go by as far as WHY? this repeats.
Upon the previous attempt I traced what seemed like the possible problem to an error saying system partition invalid while booted in 7 to see an upgrade repair install performed on the clone while everything was still present as far as programs and device drivers, etc. The invalid error prompted for a total wipe of the drive to be followed by a fresh clean install of 7 where the SP1 slipstreamed usb install key was found to be lacking SP! Just my day for sure!!!
Well simply add that or find that it is already included when the check for updates is run but later the Control Panel>System only shows 7 Ultimate and not 7 Ultimate SP1 like it should for the time being while the updates history shows it went right on without a hitch! Will now be running the tool to try for another download to see the dvd as well as two flash drives never saw the correct write take place or it's simply not my turn for the upgrade still not having seen the supposed email notification come in as of yet. The prompt you saw earlier simply confirmed what I had mentioned earlier about the people being randomized not all from one place at any one time.
