Task of pre-required

When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

then

then

  • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
  • Reboot several times, and then try again.
  • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
  • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
  • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
  • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
  • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
  • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
  • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
  • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  • Error code 80072F78 - 50% downloaded

    I tried to install the latest security fixes - February 2012. Six updates downloaded and installed OK. However, three updates fail to download and update, after omitting that 50% downloaded with error code 80072F78. Are the three updates that won't install
    KB2654428

    No obvious reason for the failure, a disk space sufficient (6.3 GB free), historically no problems installing security patches, which are always downloaded and installed OK. No change in System. I tried to run MicrosoftFixit which said two problems and fixed them. But this has no effect. I also tried to check again the updates again who said three updates are required, but still not manage to go beyond 50% downloaded 3.4 MB

  • Error code 80072F78

    Unabe to computer update, error code displayed is

    80072f78, but this code is not in the solution/help

    section.

    Let's see if getting rid of the 'leftovers' McAfee and OneCare solves the problem, mate.

    1. download the OneCare, save it to your desktop cleanup utility: http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/c/b/4cb845e7-1076-437b-852a-7842a8ab13c8/OneCareCleanUp.exe

    1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 b above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot again.

    5 test.
