Hello,

I am currently trying to update my windows ultimate 7x64 machine to windows 10 and I get about 15% complete and it fails.

I believe it has to do with by computer failing when trying to apply windows update

KB4534310​

I receive the following error

WindowsUpdate_80073701" "WindowsUpdate_dt000

The CBS.zip file was too large to attach so I had to upload it to dropbox. CBS.zip

Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello and welcome,

Just a question first. Why is Windows installed on drive G: , not C: ?
 
I have added various SSD's over the years and I had put the OS on a SSD instead of an older hard drive. I hope that isn't causing my issues...

Thanks for responding!

No.
Follow the instructions below please.

Remove Update Manually
  1. Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt.
  2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.
  3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following command into it, then press enter.
    wusa /uninstall /KB:4471318
  4. Let me know if it says it was successful or if there are any errors.
 
I tried that and received the following error, that is interesting.

Peter,

It would appear the windows update has completed, THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.

However, I did attempt to install windows 10 pro and I only got to the 15% point again and it failed. I am not sure if this forum can help solve that issue or if I need to post on a different forum.

Thanks again
 
We're not done yet. Please be patient.

Restart the computer.
Check Windows Update again and report the result.
If it fails, attach the zipped cbs.log to your next reply.

Peter,

My apologies, I thought that last step you had posted was the final step.

I have run your step 1 in the previous response and attached the fixlog.txt.

On your step 2 I restarted and there are no pending windows 7 updates. Unless you meant try to install windows 10 again and see if it fails again?

I may have misunderstood what you were requesting me to do.

Thanks
