Alright so everything seems to be working now, I installed Windows 10 with no problems now. I don't know how to explain why it worked all of a sudden but thank you so very much RainfallWithIn especially him for his patience and everyone else for the help and their input. I guess for other people who are looking into this can now see this especially if they have an Alienware Aurora R4 Late 2011 Model like me and keeps reseting once the Windows 10 installation gets to 24%/25%. For the people with the computer from Alienware just make sure you have your Windows 7 Alienware Disc and the Alienware Resource DVD because you will need it. The best thing to do is reset the entire computer just to remove any possible programs from messing with the installation. It's best to do a fresh installation Windows 7 from the Alienware Disc, because the Windows 10 installation wont have any hiccups during the initial downloading and installing, make sure to keep any files because the Alienware Resource drivers are needed. Man it's been a long two weeks doing all the trouble shooting, especially in the last 24 hours basically working form a bricked computer and installing all the updates while trying to pack for college at the same time.

Ultimately taking more then 16 hours alone, so if anything looks slurry or doesn't make sense sorry. Finally I think this is what ultimately made the Windows 10 installation work, I think the Recovery partition and ESP partition were conflicting with the WIndows 10 installation and causing it to reset at the 24%/25% mark. • Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 • Alienware 07JNH0 (Bios Version - Alienware A11 ) • Intel Core i7 3820 @ 3.60GHz • 16.0GB DDR3 @ 1600Mhz • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 (stock) • 2TB Seagate ST2000DM001-1CH164 • Now the power supply I suppose is a 850W power supply although I don't know the brand, since it is a Alienware computer. Now of course as you read the specs the computer is an Alienware computer that I received as a gift back in 2012, and since I'm going away to college I thought why not update to Windows 10.

Well that's been actually a pain in my rear as for the past five days I have been struggling to upgrade to Windows 10 as it just keeps sending me back to Windows 7 with the error along the lines of (0x80070005-0x2000A SAFE_OS phase during PREPARE_FIRST_BOOT) and sending me back to the Windows 7 Desktop.

Did you make a DVD/USB flash drive with the ISO of Windows or are you just making it upgrade right away from the built-in option in the media creation tool? If you aren't doing it already, burn the ISO and use that instead (launch the setup.exe on the ISO while in Windows, in order to upgrade). If all else keep failing, reinstall Windows 7, then upgrade to Windows 10.
