    Here are the setupact/setuperr logs in C:\Windows~BT\Panther
    Your Dropbox links ask me to login. If the logs are too big to attach to a post you could zip them and attach that.

    No rush, I'm out tomorrow and won't be able to look at the logs until the weekend.

    My apologies for taking so long to get back you @n2bn2b but this is proving to be difficult to diagnose.

    First the good news. I can find no evidence that a driver error is to blame.

    The bad news is that I cannot pin down exactly what caused the rollback. The evidence so far:


    From Rollback\setupact.log
    Code:
    2019-10-09 17:52:11, Info                  MOUPG  SetupHost::Execute
    2019-10-09 17:52:11, Info                  MOUPG  Setup StudyID was [not found]
    2019-10-09 17:52:11, Info                  MOUPG  A previous StudyID was [not restored]
    2019-10-09 17:52:11, Info                  MOUPG  SetupManager: Reporting Data - DataId = [22], Value = [0]
    2019-10-09 17:52:11, Info                  MOUPG  SetupManager: User Rollback Mode Detected
    2019-10-09 17:52:11, Warning               MOUPG  SetupManager: Error retrieving setup platform result: [0x80070002]
    2019-10-09 17:52:11, Info                  MOUPG  SetupHost: Reporting post reboot event -> [0xC1900101, 0x20017]


    The 'StudyID' that was not found is apparently involved in identifying hardware:
    Census.Hardware

    This event sends data about the device, including hardware type, OEM brand, model line, model, telemetry level setting, and TPM support, to help keep Windows up to date.

    The following fields are available...
    ...StudyID Used to identify retail and non-retail device.
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...nd-fields-1903


    The error code 0x80070002 is:
    ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND 0x80070002
    May be used to indicate that the device has been disconnected or unplugged.
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...rror-constants

    A google search finds very few others with the 'StudyID not found' problem, and no obvious solution. Some have suggested removing all possible devices (a 2nd HDD for example) then trying again.

    Sorry I have not been able to find more for you.

    Thanks Brie for looking over the logs. As the error numbers suggest that maybe the device got unplugged- not so. Also I had disconnected all external hardware like back up drive, printer, scanner etc. before trying to install the Win-10. Wondering whether the StudyID message is related to outdated hardware in the PC. I had put the unit together in 2008. (See the hardware listed in my first posting). If you think that it may be related, should I first upgrade the components before trying the OS upgrade?
    Appreciate your opinion

    There's nothing obvious that jumps out at me in that list.

    There may be some devices you could temporarily disable in the bios, that may help. Ethernet, WiFi, that sort of thing.

    You can upgrade your motherboard with a modified Intel Xeon chip.

    The chips are originally socket 771. The seller has modified the chip in two ways. A very small adhesive sticker is applied underneath blanking off several cpu contacts, plus an extra groove cut out on the side, so it will easily fit into the 775 board.
    The ideal Xeon chip for your board would be an X5450 running at 3.0Ghz and a 12mb cache, 1333 Fsb, lovely !! Its basically the same as a Q9650. They run just as cool as the Core 2 Quad and can be easily overclocked.
    My X5450 is running at 3.3ghz and pushing my ddr2 to 1111mhz. Shes quick.

    Ebay the Xeon X5450 modified chips are selling for about $20

    Help In selecting components for win-10


    Hello Folks
    Looking for help in selecting components to upgrade
    I built my desktop from components 12 years ago. I installed Win-XP, & later upgraded to Win-7 (32 Bit). Now I want to upgrade to Win-10 (64 Bit) and would appreciate a recommendation for upgrading my old, & outdated hardware components. I am not into any games requiring super performance. Mostly use it for E-Mails, browsing, photo, video & music editing & plan to get started into flying airplane simulation with the upgraded WIn-10.

    Here is a list of what I have in my desktop now.

    Motherboard - ASUSTeK P5N-E SLI, Bus Clock : 333 MHz
    RAM - 4 GB
    CPU - 2.67 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Hard Drive - 320 GB
    Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT
    Audio Card - Built in : NVIDIA
    Case - Antec with dual fans & dual air filters
    PSU - Extreme Power 500 W. ( Noisy & getting old. Needs Replacement)

    Thanks for any recommendations. I would like to keep the video card and the case, just to save some money. That is if recommended. I am also thinking of keeping the old hard drive as a back up, but adding a solid state drive as the main storage. I already have 500 GB External Drive that I use for periodic backups.
    Since the Covid lock down the local Fry's has packed up, so I'll most likely shop on line at Newegg.
    BTW if I keep the same video card, then will it be compatible with an AMD CPU, or am I restricted to an Intel CPU ?
    Thanks for any recommendations.

    Upgrading Win-7 Pro to Win-10


    I upgraded from Win-7 (32bit) (Pro) to a WIn-10 using the Media Creation Tool with no changes to my old old hardware. See my list of the old hardware. The Win-10 is now activated & I was planning to update the old components with new ones & bought the following.
    CPU: Intel i5-11600K with a Pure Rock-2 cooler
    Motherboard : AS RockZ590
    RAM : Corsair 8 GB
    PSU Seasonic S12III 650W
    SSD : WD Blue 500 GB
    Looking for your advise in how best to end up with a clean Win-10 (64 bit) (Pro) installation with the new hardware.

    I tried to first do a clean Win-10 installation on the old hardware using the bootable WIn-10 flash drive which I had made with the Media Creation Tool. But it would not boot up from the flash drive even after I changed the removable drive to be the 1st drive in the boot order. It keeps ignoring the boot order & opens up the Win-10 page. What am I doing wrong? Any clue as to why it does not want to boot up from the flash drive

    Is it better for me to back up this version of upgraded Win-10, tear down the computer and install the new components first, restore the backed up Win-10 to retain the activation key and then try to boot up for a clean Win-10 ?

    Thanks for any help

    Hi,
    Restore bios to default
    Flash drive might be uefi only and bios is csm enabled/ legacy for win-7 still.

    You might use boot menu keyboard shortcut and select the flash drive listing and not the flash drive that says uefi next to it.

    That old CPU lacks the instructions to run Windows 10 64 bit but might work on the 32 bit version. I would try the free upgrade to Windows 10 32 bit and see if that works. I would replace the hard drive with a basic SSD drive which will make a huge difference to speed. Be sure to do a full system backup e.g. using Macrium Reflect so you can restore you original configuration should the upgrade fail.

    You need a new CPU, motherboard, system SSD & RAM to bring the system up to date. I would wait a few months until Windows 11 is released to see what Windows 11 certified components are on offer.
