Early reports from users trying to install Windows 10 indicate that they have come across an error which is quite bizarre and there is no standard solution
The “Something Happened” screen is actually the error and there is no way forward. The error dialog box contains no error code that could help describe the error and users have stated that Microsoft Support line is not of much help either.
The issue dates back to Windows 10 Technical Preview, where users complained on the Microsoft Community in search of answers. Some expert answer claims that it could be because users were trying to upgrade over Windows 7 or 8 instead of installing it in a separate partition.
The current issue of “Something Happened” is the same but users upgrading from Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10 are now confused as to why Microsoft has been unable to fix it. A possible fix is attributed to language settings. Changing the default Windows language settings to en-US resolved the issue for some.
To check the reason for error, users would need to dig into the event logs. To do that; ‘Right Click > Manage on "Computer"> Event Viewer> Windows Logs.
Another solution is to ensure that there is ample space in the main partition for Windows to download and install.
