The reason I have all of those different language .NET frameworks is because when I first installed the os on this pc the get windows 10 app wouldn't appear, and I was told I had to get certain updates. I for a while was just installing every update available just trying to get the app to appear. But obviously now that I'm at this point I can remove them, so I will if that could be causing the issue.
Okay, yes, please uninstall them. They could be hanging the update as well.
We will wait for your report in the morning. :)
I wasn't able to start the install last night due to technical difficulties, so I'm just going to do it now. I'll report back later today.
Okay, so I just ran the installer and it still didn't work, but this time it actually happened at a reasonable speed, so if nothing else, that implies some progress. So I guess what I'm going to need to do is copy my netgear smart wizard installer onto a usb device, wipe the disk clean, reinstall windows 7, get my netgear tools reinstalled, then use that internet connection to get an ISO? (I have to have those netgear tools to use the internet at all.)
yeah, those technical difficulties involved me accidentily turning my pc off when it had updates queued, making me have to sit through their installation. It being 4 am, I really didn't have the energy to make it through that and start the 10 installation.
The worst is when you successfully installed updates and something goes wrong and you see a message saying reverting windows updates so they all fail lol.
Hi Axington.
Yeah, that's promising.
- I am not familiar with these Netgear tools. Can you give me a link to check them out please? I guess I don't understand why you can't just plug an ethernet cable into the rig and be online? Do you have to use wireless?
Edit: Please give me the model number of your wireless USB adapter and I will look it up. Thanks.

Well, that's what I thought, and then I found this.
In some instances, Windows 10 users have reported connection and driver issues with their A6210 wireless adapter. These issues can occur if:
- Your adapter was connected during an upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8 to Windows 10.
- The updated adapter driver was not properly installed (The Windows 7 driver is not supported in Windows 10. A new driver needs to be installed)
Of course, I don't know what his model is....
Since he's failing early in the upgrade process, that is an indication of driver issues. I wonder if this is it?
