I have a machine I built that will not, for the life of me, upgrade to Win 10. I can't get to the first reboot without a "Windows 10 Installation Failed" message. I have tried:
- SFC Scannow: Clean
- Chkdsk and fix all my drives
- Ran drive cleanup and defragged
- Ran SURT (last night) still fail
- Removed all AV (Symantec Endpoint)
- Unplugged everything I can
- Ran a clean boot and cleared everything from services and msconfig
- Tried to run from Media Creation Tool (1909) (fail); create ISO and mount on hard drive and run, and run from USB (fails)
- Run this up thru MS support at least to 2nd level; got conned into buying a new win10 key (never get that far). They even remoted but never came thru with a suggestion that worked.
- Researched my ass off to no avail.
I've got a lot of software installed on this machine, and I'm not willing to go to the nuclear option without trying everything I can think of.
My Skill level : Enough to be dangerous. I've studied log files for hours, but I don't know what I'm reading...
Configuration: Which most likely is the problem (a driver somewhere)
My OS drive is a SSD RAID 1
My other data partitions are all on a RAID 5 Config
My User Profiles are all on the RAID5
I have a Intel chip, but all I read in the logs is it trying to do something with AMD64....
I have a Nvidia Video Card; MFGR says it's Win10 Capable. I've read that sometimes these drivers are problems, but every time I uninstall or remove the driver, PNP reinstalls it on reboot.
There's a ton of free space on all the drives; I checked to see if my motherboard was capable and mfgr says yes. I've upgraded at my work about 20 machines in the last month without a single issue, but the were all factory OEM machines and fairly simple.
Link for CBS.zip (Dropbox); I tried to update this morning again, but the CBS log still show's yesterday's attempts...
SFC Fix log attached.
I would be very appreciative to get this thing working! I have an almost exact clone of it at home that I've got to try next...I do have a bare-metal backup of this machine. I'm afraid to buy/try that PC Mover software that Microsoft recommends because of these failures. However, I'm one of those that will not let go of a challenge.
THANK YOU!
