I have never had a problem installing updates to Win 8.1 and all important updates are fully installed. Every time I try to update to Win10 it says "downloading Windows 10 - checking requirements" and then I get the above error message. Any help would be much appreciated!

Same problem here. Tired of wasting hours downloading over and over again and getting the same error. None of the suggestions I have found and tried work. No wonder they are giving it away free. To frustrate the heck out of everyone. I find it hard to believe in all the testing, they had no occurrences of this and have not come up with a solution.
Forget using the Get Windows 10 icon method. Download and create a ISO then mount it and do the upgrade.

Tried the MediaTool. Can't get it to open and do anything. I can see it start in the Task Manager, then it just shuts off. So basically, I can't download the ISO.Forget using the Get Windows 10 icon method. Download and create a ISO then mount it and do the upgrade.

Try running it as Administrator. Right click on it and select Run as Administrator.
Tried that - same result no matter what I do.
I have the same problems as above. Get error code 80070005 trying to install, and the media tool won't run. Trying to upgrade win 7 to win 10.
Description
The error occurs when you attempt to install Windows updates. When you try to click on check for updates in Windows Update with administrator privileges you cannot install updates and instead you receive error code 80070005.
Step-by-step instruction

You can begin to solve the problem by seeking verification for the DCOM configuration. To do this simply click on Starton your main toolbar on the desktop and then choose Runfrom the pop-up menu. When the Command Prompt appears type in dcomcnfgand then press the Enterkey.
