Windows 10 installation is driving me insane.
Firstly I tried the method of forcing the update using wuauclt.exe /updatenow in the cmd. Everything downloaded fine, however it fails when 'preparing for installation'. It comes up with a different error code every time, mostly error 80070003. I have done the following to try to resolve this:

- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/910336
- http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-update-error-80070003#1TC=windows-7
- Clean Boot (I've attached a services report)
- turned off internet after
download
- unplugged every peripheral
-Uninstalled my virus software and firewall
with no luck. This take me 5 hours to download every time and it fails every time so I've given up on that method.
So I've tried the ISO method using mediacreationtoolx64 by downloading the iso. I have tried to install it from a usb, dvd and by mounting the iso. Every time it gets to 24% and comes up with the installation failed dialog box.
I thought it was a dodgy iso so i downloaded it again and again with the same result. So I tried downloading a version from kickass without the media creation tool and the same thing happened.
I have tried every fix I can find on the forums and nothing works. I have done error checks on my disk and nothing is wrong. I've ensured my C part is not fragmented and even freed up 100GB of space. The next thing I can think of is to do a clean install of windows 8.1 and install it on that. However I don't know where my software discs are so i risk loosing my programs that I paid for.
Can anyone help with this, (possibly any bios settings i may have selected by for my hackintosh part). Could it be trying to install on another partition? I've attached a screen shot of my partitions. I have no idea anymore
thanks.
