Windows 10 install help please

#Post
1

I have a laptop - Acer Inspire 5750Z - which currently has Windows 7. I would like to install Windows 10, however when I tried this install, it was at 35% when I went to bed, and had disappeared in the morning. I have tried re-starting....
Any techy-minded (which clearly I am not) people able to help me please?

Does it meet the specs?

How - exactly - did you go about installing Win10 ?

turn it on and it should just resume where it left off, keep an eye on it for error message. it looks like an older laptop so probably mechanical hdd which may be having issues. Give it time though, resist the urge to turn it off even if it looks like it's doing nothing... could easily take several hours

It may have installed and then gone into hibernation or sleep mode from inactivity which it is having trouble waking from. Hold the power button down for 5 seconds to turn it right off. Now try turning it on.

The OP might indeed have not even started the install but only the download of the install file even ? That's why I queried them.

I guess power saver mode is on, like sleep etc.

I always turn off power management settings and make sure the hard drive Never turns off.

I have had run ins with those in the past.

Sometimes there can be other factors. I had a laptop that failed to upgrade because it had a faulty keyboard. Tried it several times with no success. I knew there was a fault with the keyboard but didn't think it would make a difference. Bought a new keyboard it it upgraded straight away
