tried to install the upgrade to windows 10 home, version 1511, 10586, and it refuses to take, keeps telling me there's a problem and to try again later.
You can download the Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft's Tech Bench site. The standard version is Windows 10 (others are restricted) and it can install/update both Windows 10 Home and Pro, depending on previous version (for upgrade) or serial (for clean-install). Download 32-bit or 64-bit according to your present Windows version.
A warning for English: There are two choices for English which are misleading. If you download the wrong language version you cannot use it to upgrade your present Windows version!
To save you the trouble:
"English" = American English (US) which most users have when installing the English version of Windows.
"International English" = British English (GB) which are mainly used in UK. This version cannot be used to upgrade English US Windows! Beware!
going to give it another try with a scheduled restart. then I'll call my system manufacturer for help.
In the time it would take to call an OEM for support, you could likely download the legitimate .iso and do the upgrade yourself. No different than doing so through Windows Update.going to give it another try with a scheduled restart. then I'll call my system manufacturer for help.
small problem...just discovered I used my last blank discs making hard copies of music for the parents that was rather time consuming to rip in the first place.
No problem! Right-click the ISO and select Open with->Windows Explorer. It will mount in a virtual DVD-ROM drive. You can then start setup from there or copy all files to a folder and start from the folder.
I having same issue WIndows 10 Pro 64 bit after it restarts i get blue screen page_fault error then goes back & this error appears i used media creator also
Uninstall your antivirus, you can re-install it after the upgrade. Also go at Control Panel, Device Manager and disable any non-important device (audio card, any SATA or SCSI controller that has no drives connected etc). Press Win+R to open a Run prompt and execute msconfig to open System Configuration. Go to Services tab and check the box to hide all Microsoft services. From the remaining services check the box to disable any non-important service such as updaters. Click on the Startup tab and click to open Task Manager (if no applications shown). Disable any non-important application (Skype, QTtask and others). Then try to upgrade again.
welp...aside from the computer deciding that self restarting to install updates wasnt in the cards, the upgrade FINALLY went off without a hitch, sans my broadcaster software and a few misc settings getting misconfigured.
I am using the Windows Defender i disabled it & still same error. I noticed windows took it off the update site update gone now so maybe to many issues.welp...aside from the computer deciding that self restarting to install updates wasnt in the cards, the upgrade FINALLY went off without a hitch, sans my broadcaster software and a few misc settings getting misconfigured.
