Windows 10: Processing (X) hours
-
So, my father is visiting from Virginia and asked about his Upgrade to Windows 10,
We started it last night after seeing that it was downloaded... It's now 14 hours later and it is still in the same spot.. Processing.
I see that there is a message on Microsoft about the same thing, but they waited 48 hours. Still processing.
What could be the issue, and nothing seems to be amiss.

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.
