I'm gone
The hype and platitudes revolving around Windows 10 are now meaningless to me for I cannot download and install the upgrade on my desktop computer. I have spent hours and hours and many days attempting to do so by various processes.
Regardless of whether I employed the Media Creation Tool and its different methods or the upgrade notification, the upgrade has stopped in mid-stream, the computer boots and restores to the previous OS which is Windows 7 Professional 64. One of two different error messages have been displayed. I have responded to each as guided by Microsoft instructions.
When I ran out of my expertise, I sought solutions from this forum, other internet computer forums and the Microsoft Community Forum. I applied each and every recommendation. None worked.
Before any attempt, I insured that all extraneous devices were either uncoupled or disabled, anti-virus programs uninstalled, internal SSD’s were made inoperable (other than my primary SSD upon which Windows 7 resides), and I ran Microsoft’s update fixes and repairs. I also checked the disk for errors and lastly deleted any installation files residing from the last failed attempt.
I have purchased each and every Microsoft OS starting with the original PCDOS for my ancient Leading Edge PC in 1980. While some of the OS’s had to be harnessed, none created such a hassle for me as this bug infested Windows 10 upgrade on my present state-of-the-art desktop. I no longer have the time or patience to bring Windows 10 onto my desktop. This is the first time I have ever given up on Microsoft.
For you who have been successful bringing Windows 10 to your computer, I congratulate you. For you who have failed to bring Windows 10 to your computer, I sympathize with you.
For now, I am gone. Hopefully, I might be back when Microsoft presents a finished Windows 10 OS product that easily installs. Until then, I will stick with Windows 7.
