I sought assistance from a Microsoft techie and in the CHAT part of the Microsoft website I was assigned someone named Akiles. He took control of my PC and proceeded to download and install Windows 10 (Upgrade from 8.1).
After he signed off it continued to download/install Win10 but then the Error Message came on: oxc1900107.
I am not a techie. This is baffling and irritating.
What do I do now?
I still want to upgrade to Windows 10.
