Impossible for laptop to upgrade to Windows 10
Yesterday i received a notification that my laptop was approved and confirmed ready to upgrade to Windows 10.
So i launched the Windows 10 Upgrade popup and initiated the upgrade.
It reached the screen where a round circle appears with the percentage status inside, and it did indeed complete the first part and restarted.
However, after the restart, it went into "Repair mode" and which failed. So i then had to reinstall Windows 8.1 and i tried upgrading from the MediaCreationTool onto a USB stick.
Tried running that, the same happend Again - booted into Repair mode instead of just completing the Windows 10 upgrade.
Now. I tried performing a clean install from the USB stick - that worked without a problem! However, my activation key didnt work and would not activate. I can now read that i HAS to upgrade from 8.1 for that to work.
So all day i have tried various methods of upgrading from 8.1 to 10, with and without the official Upgrade popup - but all upgrades, leads into a reboot following the failed Repair mode attempt..
Any idea on what to do now? I am all out of ideas now.
