Windows 10 upgrade failed. Multiple Attemps.
Background:
I have 3 PCs to upgrade and 512kbps internet so I decided it would be best to use the Windows 10 USB upgrade tool. After making the upgrade USB tried to upgrade my 1st PC by doing a clean install by booting from the USB, hoping it would be able to automatically activate or would accept my windows 7 key during installation, it did not. Before trying this I copied my original HDD to a temporary HDD. Since it did not activate I copied the temporary HDD to the original HDD( over Windows 10). Then I tried doing the upgrade from Windows 7 by clicking on the Setup application on my upgrade USB to just get the Windows 10 key and then do a clean install. I selected Keep everything and I choose to do updates now. The updates were taking too long so I canceled the upgrade.
Problem:
I have tried 3 times to upgrade my Windows 7 PC to Windows 10 via the USB upgrade tool. Each time I selected to keep everything and not do updates ( im just upgrading to get the Win 10 key and then I well do clean install ). Each time I get an error 0x8007002C-0x4000D and a message like " upgrade failed in SECOND_BOOT phase with error during DATA_MIGRATE. It gets to about 70% before I get this error. One of the times I also disabled AVG first, it only disables until next reboot ( thought is was worth a try it helped a couple of times when I did an inplace reinstall of Win 7).
Update:
4th try: Tried again to do the upgrade, keeping everything and not doing updates. This time I completely uninstalled AVG and ran Windows disk cleaner with all boxes checked before running the upgrade. It made it to 76% percent complete, which puts it in the third/final stage "Configuring Settings". It gave me the same error again.
Also, I've looked in the common problems thread and under Error 0x8007002C-4000D which is the error i'm getting, it says to look in %WINDIR%\WindowsUpdate.log for the file causing the problem. I'm having trouble finding anything so I've attached the file.
