  1. Windows Setup Getting files ready for installation stuck or taking really long time on 13%

    Hi,

    I wanted to move my OS from HDD to SSD. My original OS HDD was 1TB and it had only 200GB left. My SSD is 128GB. I downloaded Windows Media Creation Tool to download ISO file which i burned on DVD. I copied all stuff which i wanted to keep to my USB flash drive and shutted down my PC. I unplugged my original OS HDD and my second 2TB HDD. I already used my SSD but only for one game which i removed before doing any of this. When i started Windows Setup i cleaned and did basic stuff to my SSD from CMD. Then i selected my SSD there was an another unlocated ?disk? which only had around 13MB space. Before getting to the "Installing Windows" screen i tried 2 times copy my DVD files to my SSD using xcopy command using another Microsoft guide but it didn't work. it got stuck at "Install.esd". First time i shutted down my PC and tried again. Second time i shutted my PC and my error was just disk type was incorrect. I converted the disk and it let me press next. Copying Windows files got checked but on the "Getting files ready for installation" got stuck to 13%. I restarted my PC and tried again and still got stuck at 13%.

    Does it just take long time or is there something i can do. I tried searching this problem and i read that unplugging useless things can help. I unplugged everything except my 1 out of 3 monitors which currently is displaying the download.

    I hope somebody can help me. I will leave my PC do its thing for the night and if it was just really slow i will comment about it.

    PS. I will format my both HDD's after i get this done. They are not currently plugged into my PC

    :)

  3. windows update stuck at installation screen and cannot get to desktop

    Hi Sue,

    To understand the issue better, I would like to ask some questions:

    • Is the computer stuck in the Installing updates screen?
    • For how long is the computer stuck in the screen?
    • When was the computer last updated?
    • Is the screen showing any percentage of installation?

    Sometimes the installation might take a long time to install if the update is of large size. So, I suggest you to wait for sometime and check if the system boots to the desktop. If it is taking a longer time, then perform a Power Drain by following the steps
    provided below:
    • Shut down the Computer.
    • Remove all power source (including battery if it is a laptop).
    • Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds.
    • Connect the power source and start the computer.
    • After the computer boots to the desktop, suggest you to install all the pending updates.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

    Thank you.
