Upgrade Windows 7 to 10 Error 0x8007001f
Hi Folks
I've been trying to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 for the last 2 weeks but to no avail. I will summarise below what I have tried to date. I purchased a Windows 10 Pro licence for this. I have tried to follow all of the various tips out there but I'm beginning to feel defeated.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me understand better how to get around these errors. Last one was error code 0x8007001f but I believe this is a generic code.
I would rather stick with windows 7 than go through a clean install. Aim of this is to do an upgrade install.7
Preparation I have done before attempting the install:
1. Uninstalled all external anti-virus software
2. Placed PC in safe boot disabling all non-microsoft services
3. Installed all recommended windows updates
4. Run sfc /scannow with no errors
5. Run windows installer cleanup utility with no errors
6. Removed and deleted other user accounts on the PC
7. After each attempted install, removed $WINDOWS.~BT, $GetCurrent and Software Distribution folders.
8. Checked BIOS - have current version
9. All drivers running current version
10. Removed all external devices
I have attempted to install via the following means:
- Windows 10 Update assistant
- ISO mounted to usb using media creation tool
I would really appreciate any help you could give, as it's really starting to frustrate me.
