I used to windows update path to upgrade from W7 to W10:
-It seemed to go smoothly at first but on the second phase (installing devices and drivers, if I remember correctly) a boot happened.
-Then I got to see the windows logo and the circling dots. After that I get a black screen where nothing happens for ~10 hours, literally. There is still signal to the screen, but its just all black, no cursor, nothing.
-The laptop can still go to sleep, the capslock LED on the keyboard still work.
-Hard reset does nothing
Then I tried to do a clean install of W10 instead:
-It went smoothly, I set up everything and got to the desktop with everything installed and done.
-I opened the start up menu, heard the sound of something (like a USB device) unplugged.
-Screen turns black, back to where I got with the Windows update path again.
-Hard reset does nothing, after the logo and circling dot screen, screen turns black.
Laptop specs:
Dell Vostro 3350
i5 2410M
4GB DDR3 laptop RAM
320GB Seagate 5400 rpm SATA HDD
Does this problem ring a bell to anyone?
Should I sit on W7 and wait for Dell or MS to come up with an update or something?
