Windows 10 Upgrade Errors

[Graham Carter]

As my other post, am currently in the middle of upgrading a large number of PC's from Windows 7 --> 10 and for a fairly large number of them am receiving the below...

 

Microsoft presume that's its a driver issue...

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10587/windows-10-get-help-with-upgrade-installation-errors

 

and these boxes are fairly old dell optiplex and Lenovo thinkcentres which pop up with a warning about graphics cards not been compatible with win10 etc etc

However a large chunk of these machines have already upgraded using the MS media creation tool without any issues.

 

In all cases where this error has occurred have confirmed that windows updates have been completed, drivers and third party software all up to date and scan disk and defrag run

Antivirus removed etc etc

 

The only consistency I can observe with boxes which roll back after this error is that they have a fair chunk of different apps installed on them

Whilst the clean route would be a format and re-install, its a ball-ache to do that on 100+ machines

 

Have attempted running the media creation tool directly, and a dvd and a usb drive to perform the update with the same error.

Any tips and or suggestions as to what may be causing this.... online research reveals a lot of people seeing this and as many folks having the issue, there are as many possible workarounds!

Really, just reinstall. And ssd swap when your at it. With WDT + MDS its really easy to reinstall.

 

Is this on a domain? Do you have SCCM? AD? How do you do deployment? For that many systems you want automated system.
