[NOTE]Windows 10 upgrade as easy it seems may sometimes turn ugly for many users , fortunately windows provide us with error codes so that proper solution and reporting tasks could be done accordingly. Keeping in mind the number of requests from members for a solution to an error code generated during the upgrade, i have compiled a list of possible error codes which may pop up during the upgrade with proper solution as mentioned and reported with verified solutions on Microsoft web forums and official troubleshooting pages.

Volume up + power key hold till it restarts (Around 10 seconds). Also try reconnecting your Microsoft account under settings.
:>(Third) Else take a back up and do a hard reset:
Go to Settings??>About???>and you can see Reset your Phone option. You should take a backup of your content before proceeding, click here for our backup tutorial and you can try our reset tutorial in case your phone stopped responding.
(Fourth & Final) Windows Phone Recovery Tool:
This is a very useful tool that helps you to return to Windows Phone 8.1 ( or to the latest software available on the Microsoft servers), if Windows 10 previews are too buggy to handle for you and the soft reset and hard reset have not yielded desired results. Read our tutorial.

Windows 10 Mobile Installation issues & workarounds:
:>Installation seems stuck at 0% for hours. What you can do is Plug-in your device as in some devices there is a ?Battery Saver? bug that stops download and installation of the build.
:>Try a soft reset and try downloading and installing the build again.
:>In case you see spinning gears for longer duration during update process, you should wait if gears are spinning. If gears are stuck then only issue arises. Try soft reset first and if it doesn?t work try hard reset.
:>Many times you see a blank screen once the installation is over. You should wait for 15-20 minutes as migration may be going on below that Blank Screen. This bug affects many devices and is always better to let the device do its own thing or else you may face issues.
