After ~15 installs of Win7/8.1/10 and about 12 hours wasted...
Turns out Windows 10 doesn't include the AHCI drivers for my chipset. Drivers that both 7 & 8.1 include. 
Therefore when you upgrade a Win7 install it will fail. But it won't say what is the problem. Oh no! It will just give a cryptic "Safe OS" message.
Anyway I fixed it now. Fucking Microsoft.

Give or take.
I tried all combinations possible (eg activating 7 with Daz loader with various keys, activating 8.1 with KMSpico, installing all the 7/8.1 updates first, removing all usb devices, removing all internal HDDs but one, installing with the router switched off and so on) and every time the Win10 setup would fail after the first restart.
Until I thought let's see what it will do if I try a CLEAN install.. (which I didn't want to because my goal was to upgrade from a Win7-daz-loaded install and get a genuine Win10 copy).
..and I see it detects no freaking HDD.
At that moment I know what has been happening is that the stupid setup somehow cannot reuse the already installed 7/8.1 driver, it detects no HDD, and it fails. Silently. With a cryptic "Safe OS" message upon reboot 
(Yes, not only it doesn't include the AHCI driver the 7 and 8.1 ISOs do, it doesn't either reuse the already installed 7/8.1 driver if you upgrade a 7/8.1 system. Madness.)
I switch to IDE mode, HDDs do show up, I do a test install just fine.
Finally, I do a clean Win7 install -> Daz loader activation -> Win10 install -> see its activated -> download AHCI drivers put them to USB -> switch back to AHCI in BIOS -> Win10 clean install and load the drivers from the USB.
Success

hell I needed that about 3 hours before you posted it
Went to upgrade my machine yesterday, but I had windows enterprise (it doesn't get the update KB to upgrade).
So formatted HD, installed windows 7 pro, let it spend 3 hours doing windows updates, finally get windows 10 upgrade option, start it and pick "make usb installer", make boot USB for 10, restart PC and let USB boot, format drive again to remove win7 pro, and installed 10.

Why do all the updates? You could had just downloaded the ISO (or even just the media creation tool) and ran it from there after done installing win7
It's what I recently did with a client pc

Well i had enterprise, it cant upgrade. No matter how I tried it either failed saying i cant, or wanted a win10 serial.
So had to install pro so it could see that it was a version that could upgrade.
And i didnt know about the media creation tool. Only way I knew was the inside windows itself with "for another PC" option once the tray icon showed up.

Haha nah, just install win7 and go to the website and download it, no need to run all those updates
Now you know for next time when you need to upgrade a PC on fresh install

My daughters I just went, fuck it kmspico it.
but my work laptop and my desktop (I use for work too). Dont want to risk it on. random 'auto windows update' that breaks it, or such. Plus feel cheated using it because I got valid win7 keys falling out of my ass from my old technet account.

I've dug around the net but cant find a clear answer.
Anyone know how to make your current login an 'elevated' admin? Found tons of links about enabling the built in one, but none about changing your current user to one.

There is, but it seems windows 10 has 2 types. local admin and 'elevated' admin. You have to show the super admin user if you want to use it.
http://www.intowindows.com/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-in-windows-10/
Not that big a deal, I got my user setup how I want and such and dont want to do it again on that account to switch over to it instead (plus cant change its name from what I can see).
Just annoying that I have to remember to 'run as administrator' on some things, on my normal admin account. Like I cant do straight CMD prompts to regedit. I have to run it as admin to have permissions. Im use to being the only user on the box, and default as the main unrestricted admin user.

Oh nice! Ill try that.
turning down UAC as low as it goes is the first thing I do after install since they added it, and turn the built in firewall off.
And not worried about using any of the new apps, I dug around trying to figure out how to remove them all and found doing:
Get-AppXPackage | Remove-AppxPackage
in powershell removes them all. I dont need any of them.
it annoyed me they decided I need a sports app, an xbox app, and a feed of what the MTV music awards had last night..but gadgets that show me useful shit needed to be removed from windows
Only thing that convinced me to move ahead, you can add them back..
Id be lost without these on my side monitor:

Haha yeah, I swore by those too for many years, till I got my G19 display and moved it all to there.
Now my G19 is rip though and the display that I disassembled from it died too not long ago. So I guess I'll go back to those soon

setting the rights for the folders should do the trick for your work stuff (and maybe change the directory where it stores temp data or sth else -> the temp stuff could be the reason for gotomeeting to malfunction). dunno about the remote desktop stuff
