Can you press CTRL + ALT + DEL and get a process list?

I wonder if there might be a corrupt sector on the HD?

Yes, I've gone through the process list and ended things that I knew were not related.
I also went through MSCONFIG and disabled a number of processes that didn't need to load.

Can check, but not that I am aware of.

did you cancel the upgrade?

The pc was closed and rebooted.
The option is still there -
Download the ISO and use that.

You have to do the in place upgrade path first for Microsoft to activate your computer then you can do clean installs (even on other hard drives) and it will automatically activate.

Correct, but you can do a in place upgrade from the ISO

Yes, but the ISO installer won't register it. It's needs the preinstall direct download app to run first for the process to work properly.

Not true! Did you read the link?

As long as you do a upgrade, your fine.

Don't care what the link says. We've tested it throughly in house and have had direct communication with Microsoft throughout the process.

Nope, we have done an in place upgrade from the ISO on many computers. It simply doesn't work that way. It wants a key once upgraded for activation. Microsoft confirms its not designed to be run that way the first time.

Are you booting from the ISO? If so. That's the problem. Just burn the ISO to a disk, and run the setup from inside windows.

No we aren't booting from the ISO. Again we've been in direct contact with MS throughout our testing to make sure our upgrade of 20,000+ computers goes well.
-
Are you running the media creation tool on the same computer you are upgrading? If so that's the same tool that does the in place upgrade and it will work.

We have a lot more than that. I don't know the whole total. We have so many different business units, and some of them we just recently bought so they won't be on our AD and network for a few years for legal reasons (to make sure we run them separate for a few years in-case they find out something they didn't know during the purchase.) The buyout they did before this they were very glad they did it as they end up having to clean house both the IT staff and equipment they had been using torrented version of everything.
