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)?

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.
