I am attempting to do an in-place upgrade from Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro. I used the Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB. It goes through the process, then around 79% it jumps to "your PC will restart in a few moments" then without restarting it returns to my Win 7 desktop and has a gray box that says "Windows 10 installation has failed"
Things I have done to try and resolve, primarily from suggestions found in MS Forums and Tenforums for other people that had the same problem:
\*Uninstalled MSE and SuperAntiSpyware
\*Disable Malwarebytes before each attempt
\*Run Setup.exe as administrator
\*run SFC /scannow and CHKDSK /f both returned no errors
\*Regedit to delete entries to fix Win Update Service, then installed new updates that resulted after that, except MSE
\*CleanBoot prior to install
\*Tried both with and without checking for updates selected during install.
All attempts result exactly the same way. Thanks in advance for help!
I tried to paste the setuperr.log but it's too many characters

Hi ,
Well, the build update procedure directly in Windows Update mainly occurs because some Windows applications have changed format, I would say to UWP, so Stick Notes, for example, if you become UWP by migrating, it does not occur directly.
Hope this helps.
