By the time it has a black screen and installing it has probably finished the download, but sometimes it updates things part-way through, which can stall the process a while.
Is it easy to disable or unplug your network access to see if it speeds things up or not? Sometimes disabling the check for updates this way makes it a bit faster. Upgrades do take a lot longer than a clean install. Was your upgrade launched from the automated Get Windows 10 process or did you download a copy of Windows 10 from Microsoft yourself?
When i checked on download progress, i was surprised to see i'm no longer on the blue screen with the juggling balls. It now shows the Control Panel screen Where dose this place me in the download stream? How much time left to finish download? On this screen, there's a button called "Stop Download".

It doesn't take that long if it is working right. I would cancel and just make a USB, so that you have the full install available. My guess is between hours for the download at 4 mbps.
The only advantage of choosing Upgrade now from the website is that you don't have to choose which Edition of Windows 10 you need on the USB when running the Media Creation Tool. So choose Download Tool now. Find My Computer in your Start menu. Right click on the My Computer icon and choose Properties. That will bring up the System properties, where it will show the Windows 7 Edition. The download did complete this morning and it went into "preparing for installation" mode. It appeared to be working, but then stalled Any ideas as to how i get this moving again?
Again, i'd like to ask what happens if you click the "Stop Download" button? Do i lose everything i've accomplished thus far? Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community.
