Windows 10 upgrade from 7 -installation stuck at 99%

I decided to ugrade to 10 from Windows 7. The download went fine, and installation was going smoothly until it reached 99%. It was stuck there. I did read that some installations make take awhile. I left my laptop on -stuck at 99% from 7p.m. until 7.pm. the following day and it was still stuck. I aborted the installation and tried again a few days later. I had the same result. Does anyone else out there have the same problem?

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance for any input!!

This is happening to me too. I loaded a fresh copy of W7 then tried the upgrade. It has been stuck all night. I brought up Task Manager and checked CPU and that is jumping around so it is doing something. Also the Resource Monitor shows about 13,000 B/s from System and 8 B/s from svchost.exe (LocalServiceNetworkRestricted). The Network tab shows lots of activity. This is a DELL e6400 64 bit.

Does anyone know what to do about it?

Windows 10 - Upgrade Installation

The easiest way to upgrade is using a mounted ISO

Some key points

• Factory-like condition
  Disconnect any add-on hardware - only upgrade a base machine
  - Mice, Keyboard, HDD, GPU, Network adapter, etc should only be what came with the machine
  -- Especially important is to have only ONE drive (HDD/SSD).
  Windows examines the available space and might choose to split the boot across more than one drive. This always causes problems if you remove that drive. It is easily fixed, but why cause it in the first place!
  
  
• Some install issues are caused by Anti-Virus (AV) software.
  Almost every AV vendor, if not all, had to update their software for Win10.
  - Update your AV software to the current version before upgrading.
  -- Some AV software might have to be disabled or uninstalled before upgrading.
  
  
• After the upgrade, let Windows Update (WU) do it's job.
  - When the machine has been fully updated though WU, check Device Manager for any flagged Devices
  -- Visit the OEM to get drivers ONLY for devices that are flagged.
  A lot of people think that the newest OEM driver is the best ... but it isn't always and it can crash Windows.
  
  
• Software that was migrated might not run well.
  - Visit the vendors site and update, or uninstall and reinstall.
  
  
• Don't immediately install tweaksoftware you used in previous versions.
  - Some people prefer 3rd party offerings over Windows native. Things like a replacement Explorer or Search shell.
  That's a choice - but try to learn native tools first. Yeah, it's a learning curve, but it's worth it.
