Hello everyone. I'm back! Y'all know that I always wanted to upgrade my Windows 7 from Starter to besides-Starter. Lol! So, I got a valid key but WAU couldn't create a restore point. Help me?
Is System Restore turned on? Rightclick Computer, choose Properties, then System Protection. Highlight C drive and click Configure to see how much disk space is apportioned to increase the amount.

Alright, I'll check it now. :)
Uncheck everything in msconfig>Startup and Services tabs (after Hiding all MS Services) including AV. Reboot and try WAU again.
If it fails then uninstall the AV to try again.
If this is still the Toshiba factory install you can go from the worst install possible to the very best by doing a Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.
Install and Activate the version on COA sticker, then run WAU to upgrade. Capture a backup image of your completed setup so you never have to do this again.
