I guess I'm not fond of mysteries where computers are concerned. I'm just concerned that in-place installs are not even possible on these machines and wondering why. Since my existing Win 7 installations are stable, fast, clean and well maintained I may just decide to wait to upgrade. So yeah, for a bunch of money and many hours of my time it can be done that way.
#WINDOWS 10 SETUP EXE WILL NOT RUN INSTALL#
That, of course, will require both reinstalling all programs and restoring all data from backup and also the purchase of two Win 10 license keys, because when you do a clean install you don't get the free upgrade.
I can do a clean install by booting from the ISO. UPDATE: Decided to try installing using the Media Creation Tool itself from within Windows 7 because it offers the option to "upgrade this PC." It won't run either giving the useless error message: Attempting to install Win 10 "Home" over Win 7 "Home Premium" and Malwarebytes is disabled. Oh, and yes, it is the correct version of Windows 10. the setup.exe file on the USB drive simply refuses to run even though I am logged in with Admin account. Not wanting to wait for the interminably slow Microsoft in place download (even on a 20 Mb/s connection) I tried to install from the USB stick as I did in Windows 8.1.
Now turning to a Windows 7 machine with has passed the compatibility and readiness testing and shows the white "Get Windows 10" icon in the system tray.
#WINDOWS 10 SETUP EXE WILL NOT RUN UPGRADE#
I have installed the Windows 10 upgrade on two Win 8.1 PCs using the USB stick created with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool.
