[SOLVED] BSOD on W7 upgrade to W10 & in driver verifier, no dumps. FIX: FEW drivers (and devices) removed; TPKD was the last one which blocked the upgrade.

I've got a system image with Macrium (untested though), and a working Macrium recovery disk now.
I did not have a Broadcom card I had a Edimax EW-7722In Wifi card, but that's been disconnected since before I made this thread. The Wacom drivers do say router but they're for a graphics tablet (deleted them anyway).

Uninstalled all the stuff you guys said, uninstalled iobit too since I know someone will tell me to later ;)
All the checks come up clean.

Tried to delete all the stuff I have from Windscribe, Hamachi and Tuungle (another networking thing which I had uninstalled but randomly found a driver for in system32/drivers)

Panther. Can't even remember how much stuff I deleted that time, still no luck and no logs unfortunately. FYI: It failed once, I looked at the Panther log and saw a million entries about the RealTek PCIe drivers so I uninstalled them then upgraded. ...Didn't work but did cut the Panther log size by a third. Reinstalled that driver now so we'll see if it inflates again.
 
If you mean the upgrade tool I had no internet for the upgrade. I thought this was a fix for some people? I still got the same driver related error. The Windows 10 setup needs internet to check for updates but whenever I use it I see no updates being downloaded.
 
Just once.
I saw some errors for netrasa and netsstpa (also in previous logs).
You should find netrasa.inf and netsstpa.inf in c:\windows\inf or in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository.
Right-click and install both.
Then, re-try.
 
I have been doing online upgrades the majority of the time.
I had no idea you could do that with .INFs! Unfortunately though they're both saying "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation". Everything isn't showing copies in FileRepository except for ".inf_loc" files of the same name in DriverStore\en-US. There's also copies of the INF files in their own folders in C:\Windows\winsxs
 
Think the command is wrong, what should it be?

More strangeness, first file can't be found (it's definitely in that directory though)
Second file has opened a Windows Security prompt saying it doesn't have a valid digital signature.

Device manager, network adapters.
For every wan device:
Open it, drivers tab, update driver, search automatically.
If it says it's already updated but offers the option to search it in windows update, click it.
 
First device I tried (WAN Miniport (IKEv2)) when I tried to update automatically found a driver but brought me to another unsigned driver warning. Windows Defender is still off btw. I'm going to have to get back to you in the morning, getting late here!
 
I'm not sure of it...
If you want to try it, rename and move them in another place.
By the way, even their copies could be unsigned and, if SFC should replace them, they'll be always unsigned.
