I had a problem to , was the link sent to you or did you download the install from web page?
I had to download the install 3 times before it would take. Message was "something went wrong" that's it.

I did a few things and it installed. First I increased the size of system reserved partition from 100MB to 450MB. Next I uninstalled my display adapter. Then I went to msconfig and used a selective startup, disabling all services EXCEPT Microsoft services and restarted the pc. (When I rebooted windows 7 would not work. after hours of poking around I messed with my BIOS boot settings and Win 7 started). Now that I restarted my pc I followed the prompts to update to Win 10 and it worked. I don't know what fixed the problem, maybe just lucky.
