error-free update to 10 on windows 7 machine - looking for assistance.
hi all
I have tried multiple ways to upgrade using the free windows 10 upgrade - ISO, USB, download, insider/preview. All of them stop at some point during the installation. In searching the internet looking for specifics with this desktop, it appears to be a common issue with this alienware model.
All of the installations appear to get a reboot error, at different points.
To start, here is my pc. I have removed all the extra hard drives, extra monitor, and other peripherals as suggested in other threads.
intel core i7-2600 @ 3.4GHz
16gb RAm
64 bit windows 7 home premium - genuine and activated.
Alienware Aurora R3
BIOS is A06 which is the latest, just updated.
The latest update gave the error. windows 10 couldn't be installed. failed 1 update.
errors found:
c1900101-30017 windows update encountered an unknown error.
Installing from usb or iso gives a boot error in stage 1 or stage 2. I can certainly do it again if needed.
I have followed the turorials and still get the same errors.
Any help would be wonderful.
I can provide any other information needed.
thank you.
