What is the best way to get this upgrade to run successfully? Any help would be much appreciated. Where is the most likely place to start looking? Where would the installation write any errors? I sure there is a log somewhere that tells me what is going on with this failed install. I just do not know where to start digging. I am a windows software developer so I do not mind digging around to see if I can tell what is happening. Parallels is updated to the latest and most current version, Windows 10 240 has been kept updated to latest updates.
I have checked and there is 60GB of free disk space in this virtual so I believe disk space is not the issue. So I tried using the Media Creation Tool and performing an "Upgrade PC Now" which gave me the same result on first login.
The update runs full course with no evidence of any errors and on the first login it reverts to the previous version of 10240. The Windupdate shows up in windows update with no issues and I have tried the update three different times with same result. It was then updated to Windows 10 when 10240 was released. This virtual was created with Windows 8.1 Pro when it was released. You have the choice of keeping settings, files and apps, or keeping nothing.I have Windows 10 (10240) Pro installed in a Parallels virtual machine running on a MacBook Pro Retina. When download is completed, RIGHT click at the ISO > click Mount > click Setup.exe. That will begin downloading the ISO file to your computer. Then select Create installation media for another PC *** Please make sure you follow the instructions to the letter. If that is correct, please use the link below.
Thanks!Assuming that you had being trying to install using Windows Update. If you have any external devices attached to the machine, disconnect them (example, gaming controllers, USB keys, external hard disk, printers, non-essential devices).If you are connected to a domain, switch to a local account.If you are updating through Windows Update, when the download reaches 100% disconnect from the Internet LAN (Ethernet) or Wi-Fi then proceed with the installation.ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during setup, if you are connected by LAN (Ethernet) or Wi-Fi, disable both then attempt setup again. Perform a clean boot, restart then try again.If this does not work and setup still fails, consider switching to a IDE based hard disk.
During Windows 10 setup, click the Custom Advanced Option and use the Load Driver command to load the appropriate driver for the SCSI drive.
I have been trying for a full week now, to no avail.
