Windows 10 installation failure

donny-gal

Knowing there would be many changes I have waited to load Windows 10 onto my Desktop, this is the machine I can cope with failure, my laptop is master, so not being tried until Desktop is sorted.

I am getting the 0x8007002C-0x4000D failure on SECOND_BOOT when MIGRATING_DATA

I have googled this almost to death, and tried all the "this will fix it" changes. I have not started to put it back to where it was yet, as you folks are my last hope

Updating from Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit with 4gb Ram 40gb free space on the C drive. The drive is only a 111 SDD, so many of the files normally on C have been link to the 500gb HDD, and not sure if this could be the problem.

I have disconnected NVidia graphics, the virus software, the firewall, and downloaded the Windows 10 to a usb drive, to try it that way too. Done the theoretical fix on the autoruns.

I am loathe to totally wipe and install from new even though I do have my installation disks, as Office 10 has been loaded from a legal download site, but I have to go through them to get the site accessible again.

Any more suggestions folks?

Can't offer any solution, but IMO Windows 7 is at least as good as 10, so I wouldn't lose any sleep over putting it back to 7.
I upgraded my Win 7 to 10 on a 240GB SSD via a USB stick, with no problem, but all programmes were on the SSD C: drive, and the end result was over 100GB free, pretty much the same as I had before. Of course you lose Windows Media Center and I found that Windows 10 takes a few seconds longer to wake up out of hibernation than 7 did. I still use the Windows 7 backup service, as it works better for me than File History.

I am fast coming to that conclusion myself too.

Right I'll revert back/

I too tried to load Win 10 but my laptop reported problem's with the install so I gave up, two months on I'm glad I did stay with W7. I am regularly asked by friends about 10 my response is stay with W7. It appears this Win 10 incarnation is ok for new machines but not for older ones.

Yes, I have just reverted back to Windows 7, maybe it will not be supported in the future, but will worry about it then. I haven't tried it on my laptop, as I like them to be the same. DG
