Several log files are created during each phase of the upgrade process. These log files are essential for troubleshooting upgrade problems. By default, the folders that contain these log files are hidden on the upgrade target computer. To view the log files, configure Windows Explorer to view hidden items, or use a tool to automatically gather these logs. The most useful log is **setupact.log**. The log files are located in a different folder depending on the Windows Setup phase. Recall that you can determine the phase from the extend code.

## Analyze log files
The following instructions are meant for IT professionals. Also see the [Upgrade error codes](/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/windows-10-upgrade-error-codes?toc=/windows/deployment/toc.json&bc=/windows/deployment/breadcrumb/toc.json) section in this guide to familiarize yourself with [result codes](/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/windows-10-upgrade-error-codes?toc=/windows/deployment/toc.json&bc=/windows/deployment/breadcrumb/toc.json#result-codes) and [extend codes](/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/windows-10-upgrade-error-codes?toc=/windows/deployment/toc.json&bc=/windows/deployment/breadcrumb/toc.json#extend-codes).
To analyze Windows Setup log files:
1. Determine the Windows Setup error code. This code should be returned by Windows Setup if it isn't successful with the upgrade process.
