But how does it taste? Yummy!

So I was experiencing some critical computer failures right after updating to Win 10 the first time around, which turned out to be the fault of a dying video card. But at the time, I did not know that and I spent many moons restoring, reformatting, reinstalling, etc.

Now I'm back on Win 7 Pro, with a new GPU, and I'm trying to upgrade back into 10...but twice now the Media Creator thingie Downloads, Verifies, and the starts to Clean Up, and then I get a pop up saying:

"Setup couldn't start properly. Please reboot your PC and try running Windows 10 Setup again."

I did that the first time, but have no real desire to reboot and go through it all again until I've fixed the underlying problem. Any suggestions?

Still having the whole "Setup failed to start, reboot and try again" error, despite installing all updates, rebooting repeatedly, etc. Any advice?

Yeah, it was. But it wasn't failing at reboot, it was failing before that...

I did get a previous update that failed at reboot, but I think that was before I did a System Restore thinking my dying GPU was a software issue.

I spent a couple months struggling with that exact same issue. I hate it when a hardware fault develops right at the same time as you do a major software update. Makes things very hard to diagnose.
