So I unplug everything, including my internal DVD drive and reinstall again, for the third time. This is what’s holding up my install? Really? Fine then.

Five minutes later, after using Google, I discovered that the reason the install keeps hanging – I had my DVD rom plugged in. I worked in tech support and while there were things beyond my control, I could at least point out different alternatives other than the complete shut down of an entire system, but even this seemed to beyond the knowledge of the agent. Let me reiterate that Microsoft customer and technical support are rubbish. What the hell? This should be a simple process right? So I revert back to Windows 7, get on my laptop and start chatting with chat. So by now, I’m getting kinda annoyed here. I had a meeting later than I thought, so I went back to sleep. Okay, no worries, right? Maybe I got impatient. About an hour and a half later, I woke up to find that my screen was on the 25% screen.

I had been up since 4am working on this, so I decided to take a nap. Highly annoying, but I was able to find a work around. At the time, it was because of the language packs that were being installed. I’ve been here before – while installing one of the Technical Previews, my screen would get stuck at 32% and just hang.

So I started the official upgrade and once it hit a good point, I went to go work out.Īn hour later, I returned and…my desktop was still at the same place it had been before I left – 25% in the giant circle, with 84% of files being installed. I usually only work a short day on Friday, so I figured whatever I needed to do, I could do so on my laptop. On Friday, I decided I’d start the install of Windows 10 on my desktop. In fact, the words excruciating nightmare seem to come to mind whenever I think about this weekend. Surely, the upgrade from 7 to 10 would be much quicker and more rewarding on my desktop, right? I had been wanting to try Windows 10 on Optimus Prime for quite some time now, as it’s faster and has a bigger screen. Literally one week to the day of the official launch of Windows 10, my desktop gives me the official announcement that I can upgrade it from Windows 7.

Other than needing to do a reinstall, which I had planned to do as a clean install anyway, everything went smoothly.Īnd then I got the official notification of Windows 10 on my desktop.

So, in my last post, I gushed how little issue I had with installing Windows 10 on my laptop.
