OK, so you know how Microsoft is letting us preview windows 10? Well I installed all of it and managed to get the build on my laptop but then I was almost done and I reached 100% a blue Scree popped up with a HUGE ":(" Face saying my computer encountered an error. I was like WOT!? Because It took1-2 hours to install... I couldn't read what the Blue screen said because It just flashed for like 2 secs and closed and later said, "Restoring your previous versions of WIndows... And I was like D: Why!!!? So I need your help to actually Install it because I want to mess with it and help the community...

System:
Processor: AMD A4-3305M APU with Radeon (tm) HD Graphics 1.90 Ghz
Installed Memory (RAM) 4.00 (3.48 usable)
System type: 64-bit Operating system Windows 7 Home premium

ISSUE FIXED: If anyone encounters the same issue, Try downloading the Windows 10 ISO file and install it from a USB instead of the windows update

It's a technical preview and Microsoft said that it became incompatible with some hardware. The Sad face is the blue screen of death so it might be hardware related

DarkFadeLinkThe Message Disappeared. like in 2 secs So I could not read it.

EDIT: I know It's compatible because It finished Installing.... And then the New windows logo popped up and then It said it was installing more things... It said Loading files... 100% and then BAM! Huge ":(" face that disappeared in like 2 secs...

EDIT2: I'm going to try to install it again. This time I'll try to take a picture of the blue screen with the ":(" face...
