Also credits go to Daz who has mentioned that and Blinky who has tested it and sezz for his test on a VM.This can also circumvent the issue: "Something happened, Windows 10 installation has failed" while upgrading. Preconditions:A. You have w7SP1/8.1 activated successfully. This actually doesn't apply to VL Volume_licenses no KMS (loader yes, pre-installations yes, OEM_DM for w8.1 yes, OEM system builder yes, retail yes), since they are officially not upgradeable.B. Download your original w10 ISO which is suitable for the upgrade path. I.E. W7(SP1) Ultimate upgrades to w10 pro.Follow these steps closely:(1. Validate your w7 SP1 (W8.1) online, best using IE.) EDIT by Yen: Not necessary!2. Generate a genuine ticket of your installation by:2.1 Copy gatherosstate.exe from your downloaded Windows 10 16299 ISO to your installation which should be upgraded.2.2 Run it on your activated and validated Windows. It'll output GenuineTicket.xml. Save this on a USB thumb drive or something.2.3 Then do a fresh install with your suitable w10 ISO, skip to enter key at setup procedure.2.4 Once it's installed make sure your internet connection is DISABLED/do not enable the internet connection! Reboot w10.2.5. Copy GenuineTicket.xml to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\GenuineTicket\ of your w10 installation and reboot again.2.6. Connect online, it should activate.I just summarized this.This method does NOT require the annoying upgrade process itself and avoids issues!When doing another clean install in the future just install w10 again while being ONLINE. It activates again. Thanks to Blinky for testing it. Yen.mydigitallife</blockquote>
