Are you doing an  upgrade? (windows was already installed and your keeping your personal files, ) (or is it a clean install?)

If you have to you can probably reboot without messing much up. It might go through startup repair and there is a chance you will have to repair install, but I'm not sure of much else you can do.

Its automatic, just press this button!

So I can hard reset my pc, without losing data?

If its a euefi install don't reboot. the install will crash and windows will be corrupt. 

 

 

  1. if this is an upgrade this is normal as it copying all the files into a windows.old folder
  2. if this is a clean install, it should only be here for like 10 minutes.   and you should just start over. wipe the partitions and clean install.

No guarantees, but its pretty likely that it will be fine. I mean, you can't exactly leave the computer on until the components start failing.

Still, windows.old in an upgrade should not contain much more than windows files and a few programs. An hour seems a bit excessive (unless OP uses a mechanical drive)

I think when it installs it moves windows .old to the back of the drive and the windows files to the front. and if he has hundreds of gigs on a hdd. When i did my install yesterday it took about 3-4 hours to get 250~ GIGS.    I regret just not doing a clean install.

Ok so its doing an update not an upgrade. I don't think an update would make a windows.old folder. If it keeps going for another hour, reboot and pray to lord Gaben you don't have to reinstall.

I got a new streambook a few days ago and I tried to restart it last night because it was acting goofy. Now it is stuck with this same message going on 10 hours now. Any suggestions?
