![]() When it got into the "Installing Features and Drivers" it went through 91% of them, then stalled with a small window titled "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library". It took me through "Checking for updates" then through "Installing Windows 10" and finally arrived at the screen "Updating Windows: Your PC will restart several times" Sorry I do not have an answer, but I finally just had to give up.Well, after more than a month I finally decided to download Win10_1511_EnglishInternational_x32.iso and try to upgrade for a last time. I finally convinced myself it was something to do with Parallels so that is why I finally switched. Not the solution I wanted but since it was my MacBook Pro Retina main development laptop I needed everything to workīy the way, before switching I deleted Parallels virtual, removed Parallels then reinstalled Parallels and created new virtual installing another fresh Windows 10 and on the first update I was back to the same issue. So in January I removed Parallels form the second MAC and installed VMWare Fusion and have had absolutely no issues since. After trying both for over a year, I really had decided I liked Parallels better but the VMWare Fusion seem to be more stable with Windows 10. So I am a developer and have two MAC's which one had VMWare Fusion and the other had Parallels installed. I worked with this issue for two months, begging for assistance from Parallels or anywhere else I could get it. Is there someone at Parallels that can help with the diagnosis? Not sure if it is the virtual machine hardware such as graphics hardware or what. I do not know where to look that is setup.log or install.log or wherever so that I may see what is causing Windows 10 November update to have issues with whatever the problem is. At that point I saw the dreaded message "Restoring previous version of windows." I am completely baffled by this issue. So Windows update performed it's magic with no evident errors or issues all the way thru to the initial login screen after the install. Now this morning the Windows 10 November Update was again in the Windows Update, so I thought what the heck this was a clean install and everything was working perfectly. Installed all my development applications (EX: VS2015, SSMS, SourceTree) and when everything was done all worked perfectly. I can say that this whole process works as it should with no errors, no issues what so ever even after all Windows updates had been applied and 10240 was completely updated. ![]() So at this point I have used Windows 10 (10240) RTM and performed a clean install of the Parallels virtual machine hosted on my MacBook Pro Retina laptop. I do not understand what is happening with Windows 10 and I am not sure if it is Windows 10 or Parallels so I am still posting to both Parallels and Microsoft to see which one of you folks can tell me what is happening. What is the best way to get this upgrade to run successfully? Any help would be much appreciated. Where is the most likely place to start looking? Where would the installation write any errors? I sure there is a log somewhere that tells me what is going on with this failed install. I just do not know where to start digging. I am a windows software developer so I do not mind digging around to see if I can tell what is happening. ![]() Parallels is updated to the latest and most current version, Windows 10 240 has been kept updated to latest updates. I have checked and there is 60GB of free disk space in this virtual so I believe disk space is not the issue. So I tried using the Media Creation Tool and performing an "Upgrade PC Now" which gave me the same result on first login. The update runs full course with no evidence of any errors and on the first login it reverts to the previous version of 10240. The Windupdate shows up in windows update with no issues and I have tried the update three different times with same result. ![]() It was then updated to Windows 10 when 10240 was released. This virtual was created with Windows 8.1 Pro when it was released. I have Windows 10 (10240) Pro installed in a Parallels virtual machine running on a MacBook Pro Retina. ![]()
