Model: 15-af173

Its currently running windows 8 but its stuck on installing windows 10

3 years old

When powered on there is a blue hp symbol with a spinning circle underneath. Once that goes away a screen that says Installing Windows and a big circle with a percentage inside. The circle always stops at 64% then goes up to 93% and then starts all over again. At the very bottom of the screen it says installing features and driver  Configuring setting( always stops at 10%)

If the PC is only three years old, there is no reason why it should NOT be able to run Win10.

So, HOW are you doing the Upgrade -- Windows Update or using Win10 install media )on USB stick)?

Im doing the update through windows on my computer.

Windows Update is the worst and least reliable way of doing major Windows Upgrades.

If it were mine, I would do the following -- as doing an in-place Feature Upgrade using Windows Update is unreliable and risky: 

1) Us this link to download and create Win10 install media: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

2) insert that into your PC (do NOT boot from it), find the folder containing the media, select the setup.exe file, right-click that and select Run as Administrator.  This will start an in-place Upgrade which could then take a couple of hours to complete.

Your being such a great help! How do I put the media onto the computer that cant load windows?

I ended up using a USB and now my computer is fixed! Thank you for your help!
