Upgrade Dell Inspiron 1545 to Win 10 fails

HeM said:

Hi @scopio,

First, you must update your BIOS version. With your current (A05) version, Win10 cannot be installed.

Go to Dell Inspiron 1545 support page, scrolling down a bit choose BIOS from 'Operating system' popup menu, download and install BIOS A14 version, then install Windows and enjoy it!

FYI updating the BIOS to A14 did not solve the issue, the upgrade to Win 10 failed at the same point

Updating 75%

. So I will start again with zbook suggestions.

Ok...thanks! I've found also that. Perhaps it helps. Good luck!

Run both the V2 and DM log collectors and upload results into this thread:

The setupmem.dmp and CBS.log files OneDrive would not upload so I uploaded it to Google Drive;

I will check again as to which files were not posted.
I only know what HeM posted above Access Denied

I am coming to the conclusion that Dell Inspiron 1545 cannot be updated to Windows 10

Nevertheless I am at the moment running chkdsk /r /v which as you say will take a very long time and as you point out there are issues with this pc which might be able to be solved.

1) Scannow displayed:

Code:

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
supported in offline servicing scenarios.

2) Restorehealth displayed:

Code:

The restore operation completed successfully. The component store corruption was
 repaired.
The operation completed successfully.

3) Open administrative command prompt and copy and paste:
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

4) Find the text file on the desktop > post a share link into the thread

5) Rerun scannow after the above steps and post the results into the thread

6) Post the event viewer chkdsk report using the info in the links of the earlier post

Code:

2019-05-19 23:26:17, Info                  CSI    0000000c@2019/5/19:22:26:17.423 Corruption detection complete. numCorruptions = 1, Disp = 1.
2019-05-19 23:26:17, Info                  CBS    Repr: CSI meta data corruption found, will commit repair transaction if repair is asked.

Code:

Run through this check list before the next upgrade attempt:

1) remove nonessential hardware

USB drives (other than a windows 10 iso if used for the upgrade)
USB Wireless Mouse or Keyboard Receiver, USB Wireless Network Card

2) These should be the only attached devices:
wired mouse

Any of these that have been done in the past week are not necessary to repeat:


3) open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste: (repair file system)
chkdsk /r /v 
This may take many hours so plan to run overnight
Find the chkdsk report in the event viewer using the information in this link and post into the thread:
