Hello Mytour. Recently, I utilized the Media Creation Tool to upgrade to Windows 10. During the Windows 10 upgrade, I encountered the Something Happened error

So, can you guide me on how to fix the Something Happened error when upgrading to Windows 10? And could you recommend a Windows 10 installation method that is fast and widely used by many users?

Answer

Hello there!
We have images of the error as follows

The Something Happened error occurs when upgrading to Windows 10 using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool. To resolve this issue, during the process, you need to choose Run as Administrator when clicking the .exe file of the Media Creation Tool

After that, proceed with the Windows 10 upgrade steps, and you won't encounter the mentioned error.

Moreover, there are various effective ways to install Windows 10. You can install it via USB, DVD, or directly from the hard drive. However, to save time, it's recommended to ghost Windows 10 instead of installing, as ghosting is faster and helps avoid reinstalling many software in the system.
