[SOLVED] Migration of WIN 7 Pro to WIn 10 fails.

More work for you...

Retrieve the Components Hive

1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file
2. Please copy the COMPONENTS file to your desktop
   Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again
3. Right-click on this file on your Desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your Desktop
4. If file will is too large to upload to the forum please share the file using a service like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or upload to www.sendspace.com and just provide the link for the file here

Hello again! Sorry for the late reply! For some reason I did not see the prevous entry :-( No new notification was listed.....
May be I should update my self too... But I think you had other tasks to work on.
The requested file is under COMPONENTS.zip
Regards, Ernie

Hi,

I also notice some notifications missing!...

Apply the attached Fix using FRST like you did before. The computer will ask for a reboot.

Please post the resulting Fixlog.txt.

Hi! When other Notifications were missed, you might have had a calm time..... ;-)

Here it is:
reload was initiated automatically.

 

[SleepyDude]

Something like that...

I missed a /f on the last command of the fix, thank you for confirming the removal of the value.

Try to install the Windows Updates and report the result.

 

[macrocebus]

It's not completely clear for me what I should do.
I've searched the Registry for HKLM\COMPONENTS /V PendingRequired This is not listed.
Anything else to do or perform now an update?

 

[SleepyDude]

Hi,

The fix took care of that, now open the Control Panel -> Windows Update -> Search for updates and let them install.

Why does a sleepy Dude reply while he was offline?
Currently my provider has a problem with DNS.
I am on a workaround now. Will do it tomorrow.
Sorry later today.
Sleep well if you find some time!

 

[SleepyDude]

Hi,

Its magic :)

Ok, I will wait for the result.

 

[macrocebus]

Hi,
here are the results of the investigations.
Please see attached file.

Great!

Now try to upgrade to Windows 10 using the flash drive with Windows 10 installation files.

 

[macrocebus]

Hi!

I did as you told, but this time it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Windows update took ages. But it ended successful.
So far, I did not discover any problem beside that it is now Win 10!
Great we started January 13 and today is February 12. It did not even take a full month!;-)
Thanks to you SleepyDude not being sleeping often till after midnight!
Regards, Ernie

Hi Ernie,

Those are very good news

Sometimes the Windows 10 upgrade problems are hard to track and fix...

Regards.
