Thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded SeaTools for Windows, which listed my new disk as 2TB rather than 4TB. That wasn't much of a surprise, but what was unexpected was the indication that all...

As I posted here yesterday, I have also reached the conclusion that my workstation does not support drives over 2TB. I am too busy at the moment, but when I get some free time I am planning to check...

After further investigation, it doesn't look like RST is actually installed on my workstation. An attempt to install it also failed, so I suspect that the chip set on my machine is too old to meet...

CrystalDiskInfo confirms that my new disk has a SATA interface and has a size of 4TB.

I'm currently working on trying to update the BIOS on my machine.

The List Disk view in Disk Management shows drive 0 has a Partition Style of GPT. To my surprise, it also lists it with a Device Type of SAS instead of SATA, like my other internal disks.

BTW,...

I had previously seen something about Intel RST drivers, but had got the impression that this only applied to much newer machines than my Dell workstation. That impression was wrong and an out of...

I'm running 64-bit Windows 10.

Your link quotes a Dell T7500 user claiming to have a 4TB disk running. That is useful info. I will pursue this more when I get home this evening.

All the space was already Unallocated, as I had not yet formatted the drive and given it a drive letter, so Clean didn't really do anything. I don't remember seeing any message that the drive was...

It's a brand new Seagate ST4000DM006 Barracuda Pro 4TB internal drive, which is shown as Disk 0 in the Disk Management window.

I have just added a 4TB disk to my Dell Precision T7500 workstation (running Windows 10 Pro, version 1809) and took the options in Disk Management to use GPT instead of MBR and to create a new Simple...

The upgrade of my laptop now appears to have completed successfully, including the subsequent application of available updates to Win 10. So far, everything I have tested has worked as expected.
...

I've already taken that option after having to force the check for updates process to end, as it was getting nowhere. At long last, the installation of Win 10 is now under way on my laptop...

Downloading and mounting the relevant ISO file for Win 10 went fine. It then automatically launched the Win 10 installation routine but soon got stuck on the 'Checking for updates' process. Is it...

OK, I'll take your advice and give it a go. Is the free version of WinISO (with a file size limit of 500MB) enough to handle this job?

Thanks for your help on this.

My guess that it is the 'Get Windows 10' tool that's not refreshing its settings is supported by the fact that both these machines quote a "Last run" date on the page that lists the so-called...

Is the process you have described intended for running an upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 (without the need to reinstall all your application software) or is it for doing a clean install of Win 10?

I've just hit a very similar problem on my primary PC, a Dell T7500 Precision Workstation running 64-bit Windows 7.

The 'Get Windows 10' tool allowed me to download Win 10 and only then warned me...

Earlier today, I decided to accept the free offer on my Win 7 Samsung laptop to upgrade to Windows 10. The upgrade checker started by telling me that this laptop was compatible but now seems to be in...
