Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 8.1 freezes during “configuration” stage
So after two two attempts to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 on HP Probook 4320s. I gave up.
Everything goes alright until the configuration step is reached. The first time it froze when the mouse appeared. I turned the notebook off and rebooted. Win 8.1 rolled back. The second time it froze at the same step but after reboot it continued and froze at about 82% of the installation.
So Microsoft does not offer a clean install (input here a long rant about their stupid policies). What can I do now? Just forget about the update or...?
At least the rollback to Windows 8.1 is quick.
Oh, and I have another partition with Linux.

You can do a clean install using the media-creation/upgrade tool from Microsoft's site.
You might need to have your license key ready if you do a clean install, though. I haven't tried it.

Are you sure? All I read is that I need to do the upgrade first to activate the license key for Win10 and only then I can do a clean install with that key.

That might be true. If you're willing to try a clean install, did you consider a clean install of 8.1 and then upgrading from there?
