Brumfondl: Hmmm, maybe try running Malwarebytes AntiMalware on one of the machines and see it anything comes up? I get the feeling there is something running on both machines that is causing your issue and I kind of doubt it is anything good.

DeepBlueSky: That's the right idea Stuart, the tool just creates the media, I found creating to a USB thumb drive nice and easy. Then you can update all your machines and your friends.

DeepBlueSky: One of reasons PC'S so versatile is that you can assemble them with a bunch of random components. This also their achilles heal so when a new OS arrives even with all the testing there will be weird happens like these, Apple have a distinct advantage in that they make the hardware so they should know all the variables when they release an OS it should just work.
I take my hat off to Microsoft even Linux, for supporting so much gear, that's why I not surprised by this happening. Once you have the install media you should be okay, the only thing I would suggest is run a tool like 'Gary Utilities' to run a health check prior to your upgrade.

Agree absolutely.
My news is that USB upgrade on my Compute Stick failed -- downloaded the creation tool onto a USB, put the media onto its D drive (64 GB SD card) and ran it. All went well until it required a reboot without the media so I turned it off, extracted the SD card, and restarted (by pressing the button on the stick). On rebooting, it stuck in BIOS, so I had to attach a wired keyboard to tell it to boot normally. Then I inserted the SD card, and it came up with some error (forgotten) and put me back, after a while, into 8.1.
Other related news -- I reported somewhere that my ASUS T100 said it could not be upgraded to 10 -- error, it is a ME400C. That's bad, and won't reflect well on ASUS, MS, and Intel -- there will be thousands of 2-year old tablets out there that are stuck in 8.1. However, I did find on the web someone saying "just go ahead and upgrade, it will work with the 8.1 drivers", so I might do that. And likely brick it.
I'm thinking now of going the ISO way for both machines, via a powered CD/DVD reader, as this may be simpler than juggling USB drives and wired keyboards. Any comments on that approach? Might have to wait until my 80 GB allowance rolls over!

Same with me with the USB - was going fine until the first restart, then went into an endless reboot loop, only getting as far as the Gigabyte mobo logo each time. Pulled out the USB, then got the Windows 10 BSOD saying there was an error with in the SAFE_OS phase during BOOT or something, and reverted back to 7.
Funny thing is - then a message appeared in the Windows 10 app, saying that there were working with their partners and I'll be notified when the update is ready. It gave me an option to upgrade anyway ("not recommended") or be notified when it was ready.
I don't know - I've been trying for 4 days using the MCT with absolutely no joy. So maybe I'll just reinstall my patience and wait for the notification.
