1427003 2016-10-07 07:05:00 Oh,and another thing make sure you picked the correct architecture (32bit /64bit if comp can run it) when you downloaded the ISO

Did that. I think I am going to delete everything else on C Drive, and re-partition later. Have got two backups of the other partition on C Drive (all my precious pics and Camera Club data for the last two years - but I have two copies in other places).

Again - thanks for your helpful comments. Makes me feel like I'm not wandering into the wilderness totally unsupported!

1427004 2016-10-07 07:20:00 I back up folders on another drive that is not attached which include downloads(software) which I update prior changeover eg latest antivirus build,browser build(if not using the default ones) and any key/passwords for software
More or less just copy all folders on the old build and save to another hard drive

I just copy/paste into the new build and run or just install when required

1427005 2016-10-07 22:52:00 Right - lunchtime, and Windows 10 has failed to install. I was unable to boot from either the USB or cd rom. Then I tried directly from the Rufus USB and that failed twice.

So - now what? I've run out of ideas :(

1427006 2016-10-08 00:01:00 You have set the Boot order in BIOS correctly? CliveM (6007)
1427007 2016-10-08 00:09:00 Yes, but it doesn't seem to work, either with cd rom, or the Rufus USB. Everything I have done, we just boot up as normal. R.M. (561)
1427008 2016-10-08 00:19:00 Did you use the Windows Media Creation Tool? and did you burn the ISO to DVD? Lawrence (2987)
1427009 2016-10-08 00:22:00 I used the Windows Media Creation Tool in both cases. R.M. (561)
1427010 2016-10-08 00:26:00 You tried running it by just opening it and running the Windows exe ?(opening the CDRom and running while comp is going) Lawrence (2987)
1427011 2016-10-08 00:31:00 I think so! I've tried so many things I've got to the bewildered state. :)

I'll try that again specifically.

1427012 2016-10-08 00:38:00 Just by chance, check your downloads folder and see if your download may have made it to there. Look for today's date. Probably not there but then again........ Bryan (147)
