I thought this typically meant that once it has finished downloading the 3-6GB of Windows Delight it will let you know it's time to continue. I think you can just download it directly and create a standalone installer.

I have a small laptop with Windows 7 that I would like to upgrade to Windows 10. The machine has the Get Windows 10 icon in the system tray.

Every time I click the icon, a Get Windows 10 window opens and after a brief pause at "Please wait", the screen displays sections "About Windows 10" and "Get the upgrade." Then at the bottom of the window there is a large bold font message "All done for now" followed by "There's nothing else you need to do. You'll get a notification on your PC or tablet when Windows 10 is ready for you."

This condition has persisted for weeks and I expect without intervention it will continue after the end of July. I have Googled everything I can think of but no one seems to have the same problem. There are numerous entries about problems but they are typically accompanied by error messages which I would welcome but don't get.

Any experience or thoughts? Perhaps I should take this as a sign that I should keep this machine on Win 7?

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Joe,

After upgrading 150+ (with 47more to go) systems in the last 3 weeks, I recommend two steps that seem to make a huge difference.

1. Make sure the account you are logged in with when you run the upgrade is an ADMIN account. 2. Download and use the "Media Creation Tool.exe" to do the upgrade. Download it at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/

I stopped caring why a long long time ago, but for whatever reason step 2 is HUGE! Ignore all the other prompts and temptations...pretend you don't see them...download and run (and respond to) the Media Creation Tool and you may still have problems, but it's much much likely to work.

As may have already been mentioned, a reboot, sometimes two, never hurts.

Good luck!

Oh, and I might mention that I've decided to forego upgrading any laptops as all of the ones I'm responsible for are over 3 years old and most of the unsuccessful upgrade complaints I've heard of came from laptop owners.
