Any of these that have been done in the past week are not necessary to repeat:

(This includes running the applicable antivirus uninstall tools for any AV that could have been
incompletely uninstalled)
https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/2625/
(And this includes uninstalling Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) immediately before the
upgrade attempt)

7) List and uninstall all non-Microsoft firewall software

12) Detach all SATA devices other than the disk drive that has the Windows operating system
(Make sure that the only disk drive that is attached to the computer at the time of the upgrade attempt
is the disk drive containing Windows)
(Other disk drives may be able to be detached by disconnecting cables or if necessary to remove the drive
from the computer)

13) Make sure that there is no metered connection:

15) Test the drive: (Sea Tools long generic and Crystal Disk SMART)

In addition to the post that failed to immediately post (Microsoft Q&A spam filter problem) there are options to clean install Windows 10 without having to troubleshoot the Windows 7 to 10 upgrade failure.
Important files would need to be backed up and drivers and applications would need to be reinstalled.

After completing the steps in the troubleshooting check list plan to perform the next in place upgrade using a Windows 10 iso installed on a bootable flash drive (in place upgrade repair).
During the in place upgrade repair select to not perform updates during the repair.
Updates are only performed after a successful in place upgrade repair.

For any in place upgrade repair failures run setupdiag:

The earlier post was not specific to Windows.

Hi @ITQS-2340

The best way to update Windows 7 to Windows 10 would be a clean install. With these major upgrades, the most successful method is to upgrade with the help of Windows 10 ISO - you download the ISO and then perform an Offline Upgrade.

How to: Perform a Clean Install or Reinstall of Windows 10

If you wish not to clean install then you can try Reset windows update components and see if that helps.

Hope this resolves your Query!!
