Are you doing it from media you created (DVD or USB) or relying on the automatic download/update?
If not from media I would suggest going that way. Use the Win 10 Media Creation Tool to make a DVD or USB and install using that.
P.S. glad you were able to get back to Win7.

I downloaded the Media Creation Tool, created an ISO and ran it from there using MagicDisc.
There was an error message (0xC1900101 - 0x4000D SECOND_BOOT phase blah blah blah MIGRATE_DATA operation). I left it in the hung position for at least a couple of hours before a hard power-off of the system and a reboot.
And yes, lucky I could roll back.
Various searches on the error message suggest it might be a driver issue, or a number of other things, with mostly general advice rather than specific to this error. The one thing I haven't tried is updating my BIOS (mostly 'cos I'm not that sure how to do it but can prolly work it out) so I might give that a go tomorrow.
One piece of advice said the following:
Press Windows key + X
Click Command Prompt (Admin)
Type the following command:
rundll32.exe pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DRIVERS /MAXCLEAN
Hit
Enter on your keyboard
Exit command prompt
Restart
However, the command in bold above does not run, and I don't know enough about command line syntax to work out what is wrong. I tried removing the comma, but that didn't work, so I've given up on that one.
