Before I give a final update on this case, I want to thank everybody who gave suggestions. It's kind of hard to believe that a forum that gives free, tailored, well-informed advice to strangers...

This is something I'm wondering about--to my knowledge, new user accounts also set up automatically on my E: drive. Is there are way to change this?

So here's the deal:...

Are you suggesting I attempt to upgrade with my E: drive disconnected?

One thing: my eye is pretty much untrained here, but my hunch is that having installed my user directory to the E: rather than C: drive might be at issue. The 'Windows.old' directory is not on the C:...

I'm working on compiling the other files, but here's this one.

Ok, I did a comprehensive job, which means a lot of files. In many cases, there were multiple files with a...

Looks like I'm getting an identical error to the one I was getting at the very beginning. Here are the setupdiag files. I'll hunt around for Panther files as soon as I can. Is this the same request...

Excellent, thanks for this. As for the driver: I don't have the driver, which I believe was part of Catalyst Control Center, the software package associated with my previous graphics card (Radeon...

I'm running Windows 7 (my issue being that Windows 10 upgrade fails and rolls back), so my available Verifier options do not match those shown in those links. Here are the settings I've been running...

Going on 40 hours continuous with no issues--I'll update on that later tonight.

In the meantime, this seems potentially relevant: I still see errors in event manager being generated by the yellow...

I just now have a 48+ hour window available to run this. I'm not exactly able to 'use my computer as normal' while it's running because certain activities cause basically unusable frame rates. How...

Wasn't able to identify the driver, so i just made a restore and uninstalled the driver. No evident impact from doing so.

Is this enough to make it worth retrying the Windows 10 upgrade?

I finally had a chance to do this last night. No blue screens yet (roughly 12 hours in).

I am not entirely sure what useful output would have looked like for any of those three programs--their...

I think I'd be comfortable booting in safe mode, and driver verifier seems pretty straightforward. Just to be sure before I do--is the idea to turn on driver verifier while in safe mode, then boot to...

Thanks again for working on this. Here we go:

1)
264706
264707
264708
264709

2) Uninstalled SpywareBlaster 4.6 and Spybot - Search & Destroy (after taking the screencaps above)

I'm not sure what exactly would be productive to attempt by trial and error; my uninformed read on that log analysis is to note that most everything referred to a shortcut in the 'recent items'...

V2 gives me an error when I try to run it (see post #1).

Yes, E: (the HDD referred to in post #26) has my user directory (Desktop, Downloads, etc). I set it up this way long ago to conserve space,...

I seem to be getting the same error as before my drive upgrade: log files here.

It wasn't incompatible for cloning--it was incompatible with my (ancient) motherboard, so I was unable even to install it. In particular, my board does not have an M.2 PCIe slot. I've got a SATA...

The new drive I ordered turned out to be incompatible with my motherboard. A compatible one arrives later today, but in the meantime, I tried the Windows 10 update again to see if these ChkDsk fixes...

And finally, ChkDsk results.

Windows drive copy is next.

Thanks to you both. I'll plan to "move" my Windows 7 drive onto my new drive as soon as it arrives, and then change the page file settings.

One question--I've never done disk...

Getting to some of this now:

I'm not a pro at this, but here's what I found--appears to be up to date:

The manufacturer support mostly consists of links to component manufacturers, but here it is: Magic MICRO

Ok, I have to turn in for the night before I get to the rest of that, but here's the output from the DM log collector.
