For the last 3 days I have been trying to upgrade to windows 10. It wasn't working via Windows Update.
Windows update was stuck at "Checking for updates" and never went past that.
And then Windows explorer error started coming - Windows explorer has stopped working...restarting.
So then I reinstalled windows 7 , restored my laptop to factory settings. Reinstalled windows 7.
Did all the updates for Windows 7, installed the service pack 1.
Then I tried upgrading again 3 days back (july 27). My laptop has been on for more than 72 hours trying to upgrade.
I downloaded the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant, since it wasn't upgrading from Window s update (That again got stuck at "Checking for updates")
Each time it showed in the Upgrade Assistant "Downloading files...verifying download...installing windows..
And each time it took hours and hour just to reach the installing windows part. And then it got stuck there.
So then i restarted the computer. I tried all the methods given on the windows support forum.
But nothing worked.
Around 30 GB of data in my internet connection pack got used up. But still it didn't install or finish downloading.
I left my laptop on for 3 days. Yesterday I stayed up all night to check the installation and try all the troubleshooting
methods written on the forum. Still each time I tried it all over again, the installation got stuck at 99%
(after taking 15 hours to reach that point)

I finally shut down my computer today evening (29 July) because i was exhausted and it still wasn't working.

what do i do now?

will i still get the upgrade? I was trying the upgrade from 27 July, and kept my laptop on nonstop downloading it but it wasn't installing.

Even windows update isn't working anymore. It's stuck at "Checking for updates"
When I tried running cmd as administrator, and typing in "net stop wuauserv" , I got the error message Windows update cannot be stopped
Windows Update got stuck after installing some updates (28 July) and hasn't been working since then.
How do I get that to work?
I have windows 7 home premium on an acer 5740 laptop
