Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

[GTiceman]

Mine has been stuck on "Preparing to install updates...34%" for a long time now.

Ok, rebooted and restarted install - now at 67%.

Mine took a minute there. Down to 15% battery and no charger [emoji17] need to wait to restart

I hope so, I have a date tonight and my blow dryer is broken. ~:-D

95%. If I don't survive this, nice knowing everyone. Well, almost everyone.

Been actually installing after reboot for quite a while now. Must be a lot going on in there.

Oops! Install quit at 17%. Now it says its restoring my previous version of Windows.

Nooooooo!

Error Message:

Sorry, we couldn't complete update to Windows 10.

0x80070057 - 0x20007

 

[mitchellvii]

Well that completely sucked.

Trying again.

Okay, so, I'm having the known issue of being unable to install 10122. I've tried the Disk Cleanup suggestion in the release notes, but after two tries it's just not working. I might end up having to revert back to Win8.1 and try the update(s) again, or use the ISO if they release it. Unless someone else knows of another fix.

Here's what I'm referring to, if anyone hasn't tried it yet:

• Upgrade Fail:
  Upgrading to this build on certain PCs may fail and roll back to the previously installed build with error 0x80070057 – 0x20007. This is a bug where too many device INFs are being migrated and hitting an internal limit. Possible workaround is to use Disk Cleanup to clean up system files and choose Device driver packages, Previous Windows installations and Temporary Windows installation files. You may also need to remove unnecessary peripherals and remove them from Device Manager and trying the upgrade again.

That's from http://www.onetechstop.net/2015/05/20/windows-10-insider-preview-build-10122-known-issues/.

I didn't try to remove "unnecessary peripherals" yet, because I have no idea what that means. I only have the built-in ones, but I might try crazy stuff if this latest attempt fails.

Here's the actual source for everything 10122: http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwi...ndows-10-insider-preview-build-10122-for-pcs/

Ok thanks. Tried all that. Running again.

Ok failed again but didn't removed old windows installation. Will try that now.

 

[wynand32]

Okay, after my 4th try failed, I'll be interested to hear if anyone gets 10122 installed on their SP3.

 

[mitchellvii]

You gotta love MS. They are so gloriously screwed up.

Well after cleaning previous windows install, seems new files are being downloaded and installed. We'll see.

Watching paint dry is more exciting. Finally finished downloading and now installing. 15% and moving.....
