Upgrade from 7 to 10 sticking on “Making sure you’re ready to install"
After many search’s concerning this problem, things I’ve tried with no help.
1. Disabled anti-virus and firewall. (MSE)
2. Disk cleanup including System Restore and Shadow Copies.
3. System scan (sfc /scannow) and check disk (chkdsk c: /f), no problems found with either.
4. Deleted original MCT app and downloaded it again, to make sure no problem with first download.
Now in 5th attempt (I think – lost count) and at ~ 2 hrs stuck in “Making sure you’re ready to install”, fairly sure stuck again as I’ve been as high as 3 hrs before aborting. When aborting (canceling) upgrade, seems to also get stuck in “Cleaning up before canceling” up to 1 hr in this step which requires stopping with task manager.
Only see occasional blip and short burst of activity on drive indicator during perceived sticking.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
