[Driedeker]

All removed but same outcome

 

[Driedeker]

that user profile error has been a devil to track down so far.

 

[PeterJ]

Create a new user profile on this Windows 7 machine with Administrator rights.
Restart the machine and login with the new user profile.
Try to upgrade again and report the result.

new user created and failed to install but with new code

 

[PeterJ]

Did you change something with the partitions on the system drive C: ?

Click on Start - All programs - Accessories.
Rightclick on Command-prompt and select Run as administrator.
When command prompt opens, typ diskpart into it, then press enter.
Wait for this to complete.
Typ list volume and press enter.
Wait for this to complete.
Take a screenshot of the commandprompt window. Read this on how to take a screenshot.
Typ quit to exit diskpart.
Provide the screenshot.

Can I just say you have been fantastic and I give great thanks for sticking with me.
I have been trying for a long time to get this into win 10 with no success.
The dup user thing has dogged me for ages.and led me down manny paths including creating a clean user in the past.
Have also seen posts about the mbr being a problem some times.
have checked partitions in the past and rebuilt the partitions and mbr etc.
Having tried to install from that new user and getting that error got me thinking to look at the bcd.
Finaly used

bcdedit /enum all

and saw a lot of entries that stuck out .
So having got to the stage where I was going to clean install I took a gamble and started to use

bcdedit /delete {the item numbers that did not add up}

to remove the ones that did not seam right.
did this and still failed to update with the same dup profile type error.however I then used the clean user profile to try it one last time
And that shocked me as it finaly did not drop out with an error.so a combination of my user profile and bcd was the culprit.

I am now on win10

Great and your welcome. An upgrade-issue can be hard to fix but we finally solved it.
I will mark this thread as solved.

and saw a lot of entries that stuck out .

Do you have a screenshot or example of what was removed ?

 

[Driedeker]

do you know the correct syntax to dump bcd to txt file with bcdedit will show you the clean one

The clean one is not of interest.
To save the bcdedit output to a text file you can use this command in a elevated commandprompt:

bcdedit > bcdedit.log

It will save the output to the file bcdedit.log in the same folder the command was started.

Here is a doctored log to show what it looked like there was a few lines like I have shown between >>>>>>>>>>>

 

[PeterJ]

Thank you for the log. Indeed the lines between >>>>>>> doesn't look good.
All clear now.
