Cannot Install Windows 10. Installer hangs upon reboot.
Hi everyone. This is my first post on this forum, and I have registered because I cannot upgrade or clean install my pc to windows 10. I am running windows 7, and was able to upgrade to windows 8.1 easily, but i did not like the new interface and found it too cumbersome, so i downgraded back to windows 7. I have tried both clean and upgrade install procedures, and neither work. I would rather upgrade because i do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling all my programs. Anyways regardless of the procedure that I attempt, upon reboot, the PC just hangs at the 3 dots during the first stage of the install. The only choice i have is to reboot the pc, and when it does i get a message saying that windows 10 failed to install. I have a legal copy of windows 10 that I bought from best buy, so i know it can't be that. I've also updated all the drivers directly from the manufacturer's websites, to help rule that out. Please help! the PC that i am having this problem with is listed in my information.
