SOLVED Upgrading Windows stopped at 91%

[Wm. Larry Powell]

Have installed Windows 10 on two desktops, so decided to download and install on laptop. Laptop is currently on and shows 67% on Configure settings and 91% overall. There is no light flickering except a slight flicker about every 20-30 seconds showing action on hard drive and it has been at 91% for over an hour. Suggestions?

2 suggestions :

1. Exercise extreme patience.

2. Download the ISO and use it to install............
Download the Media Creation Tool. Make sure you pick the correct bit version.

Run the Tool.........
Select Create installation media for another PC option.
That will create a Win 10 ISO.
(You can burn it to a bootable media later on. This method does not require it ).

When ISO is downloaded.......
Right click at the ISO > click Mount > click Setup.exe.
Installation will begin. This method allows you to keep your files, settings and apps.
This method does not require product key.
Activation will be automatic.

David, I used the Media Creation Tool 64 bit to install. My question is, since I'm at 91 % right now and have been for 2 hours, what is gonna happen when I do a hard boot and Windows 10 is NOT completely installed?

I don't know. This scenario never happens to me, and I don't recall anyone reporting what did happen under such situation.

My guess is that you will be back to your previous OS. But, that's just my guess.

Sorry, I did not know you were using the Media Creation Download Tool.

I did a forced reboot and computer is restoring prior version of Windows.
