So Disappointed I Can't Get Windows 10 To Install Properly

Hi Everyone,
I'm tying this on my Acer Aspire 5100-3357 laptop that originally came with windows vista home premium 32-bit installed on it. I recently purchased a authentic/genuine dvd disc that has windows 7 home premium edition w/sp1 on it, it's the 32-bit edition. It's already been 'legally' activated via microsoft. I've already tried once to install windows 10 home on this laptop via the 'upgrade' method, it finally finished but it too a VERY LONG time. It never did operate correctly..it ran as slow as cold molasses. To make matters even worse...I was having so many issue's that I got frustrated and performed a reset this pc. Of course when I did so, I couldn't easily go back to windows 7. So I had to start from scratch, as I'm not one to give up easy..I'm wondering whether to try it again or just forget about it, I'm enclosing my computer spec's. so hopefully some other user's can share their opinion's. By the way, windows 7 runs GREAT !!

Hi Ztruker,
I really think now that my older laptop just can't handle windows 10, I used to live in Jacksonville..have a wonderful holiday.

Ztruker,
To be honest, I'm still toying with the idea of trying to get windows 10 installed once again, only this time I'll perform a clean install and NOT an upgrade. Also, I would like to keep windows 7 intact, so I could just create a new partition on my C: drive and install windows 10 there..what do you think ?? If anyone else would care to offer a useful comment I'm all ear's.

I worked on an Acer laptop with an i3 cpu and 8gigs ram and 750 gig hard drive. From your info, yours looks older. Can't say for sure.
I worked on it 6 different times over a 2 month period.
It worked great with W7 (which is what it came with from the factory). I up graded it to W10 after visiting Acer's website to check on it's compatibility with 10. They showed it was good-to-go.
Upgrade went easy, worked great for two days, so I took it back to the owner.
3 days later I got a call saying it wouldn't boot. BSOD Did a clean install after checking with Acer again. Worked for ten minutes and BSOD. Drivers.
Did another clean install and installed all new drivers. Reinstalled all her programing, and backed-up Docs and pics. Worked great for 3 days, so I took it back. She had it for 3 days and called me back. BSOD.
By the time I had installed W10 six times, we were past the time period to revert to W7. (30 days)
Called MS gave them the full system specs, serial #, part #, they had me on the phone for half an hour (25% of the time on hold) while they searched databases on different people's computers.
Bottom line, computer not compatible.
They were great to deal with, and had very pleasant conversation.
They gave my a new activation code for W7 and all is good once again.

Hi simrick,
I'm addressing this to you..but I DID want to include the other user's in here that tried to help me..just to keep all of you informed, last night I created a new partition on my C: hard drive. I already had burnt a windows 10 ISO to a dvd..I let my computer reboot, and of course booted off the dvd disk. After the initial screen I received the 'Install Now' screen and of course I chose the newly created partition I created. I must say it installed MUCH quicker using this method. Once I got to the setting's page I chose the 'Express Install' option. I thought I was actually going to be able to run/dual boot windows 7 & windows 10. But once again windows 10 ran too slow for my patience..so I've already got rid of both windows 10 and the partition I had created. I've decided this laptop just doesn't like windows 10 like my newer Toshiba laptop does.
