Hello,
I'd ask in the Windows 10 Community forum on Microsoft Community.

Perhaps you could have added some more information about your Windows 10 Installation problem.
Thanks

Hi,
Could you let us know from where are you trying to download Windows 10 and what error you are getting? If you are a MSDN subscriber and are downloading from the MSDN site, please contact MSDN Subscriptions Support at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/subscriptions/aa948875.aspx
Thanks,

Here's my Windows 10 install problem. I'm trying to install on a Windows 7 Professional laptop that hasn't been used in a while. After spending the better part of a day installing Windows updates with the horrible Windows Update facility and a bunch of forum recommendations, I finally got the Windows 10 installation to proceed. It advanced through the Download and Verification phases and then through Preparing, Getting Updates, Getting Some Things Ready, the License Agreement, Getting Updates (again), Making Sure Ready to Install, Uninstalled Virtual PC (because it isn't supported by Windows 10), confirmation of Enough Space, and into the Install itself with the warning that the system would stop and restart several times during the install.
At somewhere in the mid-50% point in the install I got a black screen and an apparent "hang" that's been unchanged for more than two hours. What to do next?

I finally gave up and powered off the computer. When I powered up again I was returned to Windows 7 and got a "We couldn't install Windows 10" window with the following information:
0xC1900101-0x20017
Failed in SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation.
What next?

Unfortunately your post is off topic here, in the MSDN Subscriptions feedback forum, because it is not feedback regarding the MSDN Subscription. This is only one forum among the many that are on the MSDN Discussion Forums, and given the content of your post, you likely chose the wrong forum. This is a standard response I’ve written up in advance to help many people (thousands, really.) who happen to post their question in my forum, but please don’t ignore it. The links provided below I’ve collected to help with many issues we’ve seen.
For technical issues with Microsoft products that you would run into as an end user of those products, one great source of info and help is http://answers.microsoft.com, which has sections for Windows, Hotmail, Office, IE, and other products. Office related forums are also here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/contact-us-FX103894077.aspx
For Technical issues with Microsoft products that you might have as an IT professional (like more technical installation issues, or other IT issues), you should head to the TechNet Discussion forums at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us, and search for the product in question.
For issues with products you might have as a Developer (like how to talk to APIs, what version of software do what, or other developer issues), you should head to the MSDN discussion forums at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-us, and search for your product, technology, or issue.
If you’re asking a question particularly about one of the Microsoft Dynamics products, a great place to start is here: http://community.dynamics.com/.
DreamSpark students with problems using the Secure Download Manager should read this: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/27085f1c-daf4-4ee3-99eb-5f1ac715d959/dreamspark-students-using-the-sdm-please-read?forum=msdnfeedback
If you really think your issue is related to the MSDN Subscription, and I screwed up, I apologize! Please repost your question to the discussion forum and include much more detail about your problem, that could include screenshots of the issue (do not include subscription information or product keys in your screenshots!), and/or links to the problem you’re seeing.
If you really have no idea where to post this question, then you shouldn’t have posted here, because we have a forum just for you! It’s called the ‘Where is the forum for…?’ forum and it's here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/whatforum/
Moving your post to the off topic forum.
Thanks
Sowmya
