Indeed, my previous experience with upgrading a desktop to Win 8, and yours to upgrade to Win 10 suggested to me that caution was required. I installed a new, blank drive in my Vaio thereby preserving absolutely my Win 7 installation while that drive rested comfortably in the drawer of my desk.

The installation disc has no issues. However, the problem might be the SATA driver for which there is none yet released for this Vaio model, one of the many, many models Sony has released, although the error message that appears indicates missing drivers, perhaps SATA drivers are the ones not available. There may be some other incompatibility and M/S is evidently 'opaque' to the issue. It would be nice to tell a user what action to take. The only option returns either the browse calling for a disk, or exits, neither of which speak well for Win 10.

There appears to be no option on Win 10 installation to proceed without the necessary drivers and then to add them as they are made available. Note that there was no problem when the upgrade option was taken from Win 7/64 bit that was pre-loaded, perhaps because the Win 7 drivers are used. The problem I had in using the upgrade option was two-fold. First I am out of disk space and second, my Internet connection is way, way to slow to download the ~2.7GB upgrade to Win 10. Unfortunately I am unable to take the laptop into the location where broad-band can be used to download the MSDN Win 10 installation .iso image.
I want to install Win 10 on a clean disk; one without an existing system. The system bios does see the new drive but the installation evidently cannot complete. I am an independent mostly C++ developer and am finding myself to be increasing rendered obsolete by the MSDN move to electronic distribution.

Win 8 was similarly unstable on a desktop machine and became progressively worse, as did your Win 10 install. After messing around with it--I even submitted an MSDN incident that MS could not resolve--I finally found that updating the BIOS cured all my problems. The Win 8 install has been stable for several years. The machine runs continously with a UPS connection and is used for code development. I believe that Sony does have a BIOS upgrade for Vaio, but I have not bothered to navigate their website to find it. Meanwhile, I replaced the drive with my Win 7 install and it continues to run just fine.

I will have to upgrade or buy a current machine, as I do some code development using Visual Studio and need to port some applications to Win 10.
