I gave it another crack, download failed at the same point. Perhaps I didn't make it clear what my gripe is.
I can't get the download/upgrade to work!
A little more detail:
After around 2 hours of starting the download and clicking various things (lack of disk space, directed it to my micro SD card etc) the screen changed to the black one with the white circle showing a percentage.
Underneath that there is a list of 3 processes.
1) Copying files
2) Installing features and drivers
3) Configuring settings
Each of these has their own percentage as well as the overall one in the circle.
Copying files turned blue with the % in the circle being 32. So that was done and it started Installing drivers/features. It hung up at 20% with the % in the circle being 39 complete. I left it for 5 hours!! Nothing.
All I have is some error code that means sod-all to me. If I look up the code I see a whole list of stuff to try. I'm not a geek. Why all this?
Just damn well do what you are supposed to do. And Microsoft want thanks?
