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

You need to use OneDrive (or similar) and share a link to the log file saved there. It will help to determine the problem.
Are all drivers up to date plus the motherboard bios from the manufacturers website.
You are aware you will need a new licence for Windows 10.
