Trying to upgrade to win10

Solution
Try the CD, even with a SSD or HDD the install/upgrade shouldn't be more then a couple of hours, if that.

I only recommended the clean install as I ran into issues with two systems that I did Win10 updates with such as poor performance and some conflicting drivers but others have had better luck then me.

Rather not got alot of GB in games that i dont really wanna re-install and some other stuff.
Is there any other way i can do this? or a way to solve it? i already bought a digital copy of windows 10 so a CD wouldnt be a option >.>

From a USB or DVD you create from that link, you can try the "Upgrade", rather than a full reinstall.

However, if the "Upgrade" still fails...then your next move is a reinstall.

It's not a fail from MS, but rather something in your system that is failing.

Anway's did it and it worked, the actual procces once booting up from the USB to starting windows 10 took 20 minutes, so thats great. Only thing my SSD got wiped cause thats where i put my windows on, if i wouldve known this couldve put some files on my HDD and prevented file los haha o well. Thanks for the help.
