Unable to progress from Windows 7 to Windows 10
You're facing an issue where upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 isn't possible due to insufficient free space. Since you don’t have any USB drives, you can’t perform a clean installation. Consider using an external drive or checking your storage capacity before proceeding.
Proceed with a hands-on setup. The Windows upgrade tool is known to fail and can ruin the entire installation process, even if it seems to work. Users frequently encounter severe problems, crashes, and hardware malfunctions—just a chaotic situation. For reliability, opt for a clean Windows 10 installation.
I experienced a comparable issue before. Launch "Disk Management." The problem likely lies not with the available space on your partition, but with the boot partition. It may be too small. I believe it should be at least 500 MB for Windows 10.
You can expand the boot partition by using tools like GParted or Disk Management to resize it. Ensure your system is backed up before making changes.
We're living in a situation where all the shops are closed, that's why.
Do you possess an optical drive? If you have a raw DVD, it might work with the DVD player.
I believe I ended up using GParted on Linux because I have a dual-boot setup. I also tried a few other options, but none succeeded. Ultimately, the only viable fix was reinstalling Windows.
