    Do you have a backup of the Windows 7 System?

    I am trying to tell you to backup your personal files from D Drive to C, then clean install Windows 10 to D Drive.

    So I suggest:

    1. Disable System Protection
    2. Reduce Page size (even 0 if with enough physical memory)
    3. Disable hibernation by
    Code:
    powercfg -h off
    4. Reboot

    Then check free space again.

    I did a system image as well as a windows back earlier today. I don't think I have enough room to move everything from D to C. I'll have to split everything up between my other drives. I've also go programs installed to the D drive.

    ok I'll have to do this in the morning...my wife just told me it's time for bed (10pm here)

    I also just remembered that D drive is what I was using for the backup drive (WindowsImageBackup)

    OK.

    And please show the result of command systeminfo to see if your hardware is compatible with Hyper-V.

    e.g.
    Code:

    I am afraid that it might be one of the reasons. And I can remove Hyper-V components, and create a custom image for you to test install.

    It seems that your machine does not support Hyper-V.

    Did you ever install VMware on Windows 7?

    Wow! You backuped personal files to USB?

    OK. Could you please try clean install the custom 10537 Pro I made?

    no lol, some of the files went to USB, some went to C drive and some went to my other 2 drives. I downloaded the custom. How should I go about installing it? use the "gimagex"?

    Is the D drive empty now?

    If yes, could you create the first partition about 60 GB, and apply 10537?
