I wouldn't kill it.  I'd let it sit for quite a bit longer. 1:45 is nowhere near long enough. As in maybe 15 minutes and see if it moves past the Features Table.

"Not responding" is just Windows way of saying (I always hear it as a whiny 2 year old in my head) "Timeslips isn't talking to me...Timeslips? Timeslips? Moooooommmmm, Timeslips isn't talking to me." Well, Timeslips might be busy for a bit and not have much to say to Windows. So Windows can just wait, IMHO.

I let it sit for 24 hours. It fails at 1:45.

Sounds like there's a problem that needs to be fixed in v2015 before you upgrade. There was an issue in v2015 with the features table that was fixed with a service release. I wonder if you had the service release installed? Do you have the ability to go back to 2015? If so, check what release level you are on in Help > About Timeslips. Run database verification > Look for errors. If it is what I think it is, it's not hard to fix and the cost for me to assist would not be high. Alternatively, you can try contacting Timeslips technical support and ask them about help with converting. 

Note to others - Always run database verification on your current version before starting the upgrade process. 

There was a problem with the Features tables in the 2015 database. We copied new files and it still failed from the server but actually didn't lock up rather gave an actual error in the log file. After reviewing the log files we ran the conversion from a workstation and it worked. Important to note we ran database verification and it didn't show any errors.
