Has anyone else hit a wall trying to upgrade? My Windows 10 PC meets the CPU and?

Agreed. This happened to me. My RAM was also borderline, and I had to go into the BIOS to enable Secure Boot before the checker would pass.

Yeah, that did the trick for me too. Also, try closing every app you can before running the upgrade assistant again. Hope that helps.

Can confirm. Sometimes it's a background process hogging it, so maybe check Task Manager for anything using a lot of memory right before you run it. Good luck!

Also, have you tried temporarily disabling your antivirus? It can sometimes block the upgrade process.
