1. Download the Media Creation Tool and save this to your desktop. Go ahead and run this as well. Note: Click the Download tool now button when you get to this link.
2. Accept the License Agreement
3. Download the ISO file to your desktop.
4. Double-click on the ISO and then run the setup to try and upgrade your machine.

We want to get the ISO so that you don't have to keep downloading which can take hours.

As stated in my initial post, I have done this with the media creation tool and the windows update tool. Each time resulted in the same error. The last win 10 download was on 12/10.
i will do again but later.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Yes, but I need to get the logs immediately after the failure to see why the update is failing.

 

[recremar]

I tried an in place install again after a new download using the media creation tool. Received the same error again upon the first reboot. Rebooted into another OS on another drive. Copied the two log files in the windows/panther path. Rebooted to continue the setup and the redo/uninstall was completed and booted back into my system. As I suspected the two log files were deleted upon the roll back. See the two attached files. However the zipped setupact log file is over 9 mb and cannot be uploaded.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Please open CMD as Admin and enter the following:

 Dism /online /Get-Drivers

 

[recremar]

Done. How do I copy/print what was reported?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

I'm just interested in whether it completed successfully or if there was an error. If there was an error, what was the error code?

 

[recremar]

Completed successfully; no error

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Go to: C:\Windows\Servicing\Version and let me know which folder contains files.

 

[recremar]

C:\WINDOWS\servicing\Version\10.0.17134.464. Only folder

You have done this incorrectly. You have to drag the zip on top of the exe and release.
