what is the model number of ur machine. and also, u have to do the internet upgrade from win 8 to win 10. u cannot use the ISO the first time. after u do the upgrade (over the internet) it recognizes ur windows key. otherwise, lots of problems and it dont work. lots of info at the top of this page
I should have mentioned this in the first post. It is a XPS 15 9530. I have tried upgrading via Windows Update, the Media Creation Tool (both via the program and creating a usb) and downloading the ISO.. I have also tried a clean boot and have performed a factory restore. Installation still fails as it is about to do the first reboot with the error "Windows 10 installation has failed".
Turns out this wasn't an issue with the Windows 10 installer, but from some corruption of the locale files in my EFI partition (EFI\Microsoft\Boot\{xx-XX}). I was able to resolve the issue by doing the following:
Boot into the Command Prompt via System Recovery Option
Use diskpart to mount the EFI partition
Run CHKDSK /f on EFI partition
Restore the bcd locales using bcdboot c:\windows /s j: /l en-us
Just tried this full of hope to be able to update to win10 but checkdisk didn't fin't anything corrupter and I still cannot update "couldn't update the system reserved partition" :-(
