Joe,
After upgrading 150+ (with 47more to go) systems in the last 3 weeks, I
recommend two steps that seem to make a huge difference.
1. Make sure the account you are logged in with when you run the upgrade
is an ADMIN account.
2. Download and use the "Media Creation Tool.exe" to do the upgrade.
Download it at
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/
I stopped caring why a long long time ago, but for whatever reason step
2 is HUGE! Ignore all the other prompts and temptations...pretend you
don't see them...download and run (and respond to) the Media Creation
Tool and you may still have problems, but it's much much likely to work.
As may have already been mentioned, a reboot, sometimes two, never hurts.
Good luck!
Oh, and I might mention that I've decided to forego upgrading any
laptops as all of the ones I'm responsible for are over 3 years old and
most of the unsuccessful upgrade complaints I've heard of came from
laptop owners.

I have a small laptop with Windows 7 that I would like to upgrade to
Windows 10. The machine has the Get Windows 10 icon in the system tray.
Every time I click the icon, a Get Windows 10 window opens and after a
brief pause at "Please wait", the screen displays sections "About Windows
10" and "Get the upgrade." Then at the bottom of the window there is a
large bold font message "All done for now" followed by "There's nothing
else you need to do. You'll get a notification on your PC or tablet when
Windows 10 is ready for you."
This condition has persisted for weeks and I expect without intervention it
will continue after the end of July. I have Googled everything I can think
of but no one seems to have the same problem. There are numerous entries
about problems but they are typically accompanied by error messages which I
would welcome but don't get.
Any experience or thoughts? Perhaps I should take this as a sign that I
should keep this machine on Win 7?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
