Hi Jörg, I like to fix this from the command line. My method is as follows (please note that commands should always be typed without the surrounding quotes):
- Prepare a Windows 10 32-bit USB installation drive using either Microsoft’s media creation tool or a pre-download ISO and Tuxboot.
- Boot the drive created in step one, at the region settings screen press Shift and F10 (a command prompt window should appear).
- Type “cd /d c:\” followed by enter.
- Type “dir insyde /ad/s/b” followed by enter. You’ll get a list of places where the switcher is located.
- For every location type “move <location> <location.old>” with double quotes around the locations. (Note, you can copy and paste to save typing).
- Exit setup by either closing all Windows or else type “wpeutil reboot” followed by enter into the command window.
As an example this is what you might get for steps 4&5: C:\>dir insyde /ad/s/b C:\Program Files\Insyde C:\>move “C:\Program Files\Insyde” “C:\Program Files\Insyde.old” 1 dir(s) moved.
Many thanks for the quick response. I’ll try it.
Best regards

March 25, 2016 at 1:14 pm #30820For future reference, switching off any computer by holding the power button can, in extreme cases, damage the flash based memories(BIOS, eMMC, SSD etc.) and/or render sectors on traditional magnetic HDDs unusable. It isn’t something you should do if there’s another choice.

OK, you’re right. I did not think about that.

April 19, 2016 at 10:29 am #34244Yesterday I upgraded successfully my new 64gb dual boot Vi10 pro without any issues.
I tried the in-place upgrade.
The Get Windows 10 app didn’t work, so i used the media creation tool
selecting Download Tool Now
After tool installation choose “Upgrade my PC now”,no need to create a bootable usb or disk ,and let it to do the job.
You can even choose to keep your apps and data from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. -
