Upgrading to Win10 Error

Go to solution Solved by PalladianPD,

It has registered your hardware on Microsoft's activation servers, so when you connect to the internet it will activate.

 

Download it from Microsoft and use Rufus (just make sure you set the partition scheme to GPT or MBR for UEFI) or Microsoft's USB creation tool.

I need help upgrading my PC from windows 7 to windows 10. 

The problem: 

              Every time i try to upgrade to windows 10 i get error code 8007002C-4000D 

              This happens when i try to upgrade to windows 10, it starts to upgrade and shows the upgrading screen but it gets to 93% and then states "Restoring to previous windows" (windows 7)

 

Solutions i have tried but have failed:

              1). Making sure every driver is up to date, installing all the windows updates available (meaning i keep going back to check for windows updates until it cant find any) 

              2). Deactivate avast and try upgrading offline (no internet)

              3). Installing 3rd party software that others claim has helped such as Reimage repair

              4). Checking windows 10 compatibility (it is)

              5). Calling microsoft support, they weren't helpful since its a custom build.

 

Things to be noted: 

            - I have already had windows 10 previously on my PC, however i had some issues with installing the new nvidia driver (...69) for my gtx 970. 

            - Drivers were unsuccessful in installing and one thing led to another so i decided to factory reset my PC and now im back at windows 7. 

 

I could really use some help with this issue since i only have until the 29 to upgrade for free. 

Anyone have nay suggestions?

I thought you said you had Windows 10 installed previously?

I did, i upgraded a while back to windows 10, then the driver issue happened and i did a factory reset so now i'm back on windows 7 because i did not have an activation code for windows 10.

OK that's no problem, just install the version of windows 10 that you upgraded to (home/pro) and it will figure out that you are entitled to a license and activate automatically.

Really? i did not know that! How do install the windows 10 files? Since it was a download from the upgrade program i never thought about making a copy, and what do i do to activate it? or will it do it by it self?
