I downloaded the microsoft Media Creative Tool from Microsoft website to upgrade windows 7 pro to Windows 10 Pro.
The Upgrade went smoothly until the message " Your computer will restart in a few moments".
The computer restarts but I eventually get the folowing message :-
"The installation failed in the Safe_OS phase with an error during Replicate_OC operation"
A second attempt also failed at the same point producing a similar message
"The installation failed in the Safe_OS phase with an error during Boot operation"
My computer is restored to Windows 7 Pro
Using the Windows Update route fails immediately.
Any suggestions...

Win10 v20.04 has a host of issues right now -- to the point that MS is advising folks NOT to do the upgrade unless Windows Update offers it to them -- which your PC is not going to do.
One option would be to wait until MS finally announces that they have fixed the Win10 v20.04 issues. This could be a few weeks; it could be several months.
An alternative is to use this tool to get an older version of Win10, suggest the November 2019 Update: https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-and-office-iso-downl...
That is more stable than Win10 v20.04 and should give you less issues.
