[HelplessGamer]

Hello! Since i was trying my best to upgrade to windows 10 i tried to update my Windows 7. After updating it automatically restarted.After that restart i am stuck in a boot loop where i cant boot normally my pc, cant boot in any safe mode(command prompt or drivers) and the system repair is useless. It only gives this 6.1.7600.16385 and bad driver error.

Yeah but the difference is that mine is bad driver not corrupt file

how were you trying to upgrade to windows 10?

 

[HelplessGamer]

using the media creation tool, point is that it only came to 72% and reinstalled the previous win7 and to solve this problem i disconnected all the unnecessary peripherals, updated my win 7 and extended my disk c space

 

[HelplessGamer]

All the problems started after the systems reboot which is done by default after making all the updates

are you doing the upgrade from within windows 7?

Clean install is best - - reformat the Windows 7 partition first, then clean install Windows 10.

 

[HelplessGamer]

Yes i was doing the upgrade through win 7.
I know clean install with win 10 from an usb or cd would be an option, but i need my personal to be saved.Can i install win 10 without deleting all my data?

there is an upgrade option that way. just do not choose the advanced option when you get to it. also make sure you have your windows 7 or 10 key in case it doesn't stay activated after the upgrade

 

[HelplessGamer]

How do i get to that upgrade option?

when you boot to the windows setup and advance through the menus there ill be a point where it offers you 2 options. upgrade and advanced

So i create a bootable USB drive with win 10 64bit on it and when i want start my computer i insert in the usb slot?

correct, create the windows install on trhe USB drive using the windows media creation tool and then insert it and start you computer. if it still boots into windows then you have to get into your computers bot menu to select it. usually you hit F12 when your computers starting to get to this menu.

also make sure your windows 7 version is also 64-bit because you can't do an upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit. the media creation tool will let you create a windows install with either version though

So when basically i insert the USB flash drive and start my pc i press f12 and it opens the option menu with boot sources and there should appear my usb flash? Sorry for the basic im just installing windows with an usb drive for the first time

right, the boot menu would list your USB drive if it is booable. if you are running a newer PC select the boot option with UEFI at the beginning of it

 

[HelplessGamer]

And after selecting to boot from the flash drive i should be able to keep all my files while installing windows 10

as long as you choose the "upgrade" option

I now have the option to boot my computer with ufd or uefi, which one should i choose?

i mentioned this in a previous post. if you are looking for a step by step guide then i suggest looking on youtube or doing a google search

i know that windows 7 both support UEFI and legacy but it's it's rare to someone install the windows 7 as uefi , so i'll suggest to go with non uefi .

edit:- Am i correct that UFD means Universal Flash Drive ? (Any expert , for my knowledge base )

the OP is trying to install windows 10, not 7

 

[navratn123]

so he should go with UFD one as windows 7 is MBR based , and uefi is GPT based needs full format so UFD he should go with .

if you haven't able to boot from the usb drive, go to the bios and disabled secure boot that will allow the system to see the usb and boot from it.
