Windows 10 upgrade problem

[CALBIX]

Im so salty at the moment

 

So I have tried 2 methods for upgrading to windows 10.

1.With windows update

2.With the media tool

 

Both of the resulted in my pc either freezing up and having me to restart and redownload the whole thing again witch takes hours

and windows update fails 

 

Now what i mean by my pc freezing is that if im busy upgrading my pc just stop working it stops at 25% and sits there for 24+ hours witch means its now upgrading.

 

Please help me with this annoying problem 

 

Thanks

did you try a clean install with iso?

Use the media tool to make a bootable USB and then upgrade using that.

If upgrade still fails, then you'll have to clean install (i.e formatting your boot drive)

Wait, remove programs (some may be incompatible despite saying they are.

use the media tool and choose the iso option

save it to a safe place

and use a tool like rufus or something to extract the iso and make the flash drive bootable

Will a Cruzer Blade 4gb sandick be enough for a boot drive?

Boot from the USB, go next next next until you come across this screen that gives you two options Update and Custom (Advanced)

 

Click on Custom, select your boot drive, press delete (no turning back after this), select new, name the disk and press next to start installation

You know the media tool can create the flash drive on its own right?
