[SOLVED] Windows 8.1 - corrupt payloads preventing upgrade to Windows 10 - CSI Payload Corrupt

[chronoforce]

I tried to update Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 but it repeatedly failed so I did some investigating with setupdiag.exe and found that

Error: SetupDiag reports abrupt down-level failure.
Last Operation: Finalize
Error: 0x80004005 - 0x50015
LogEntry: 2021-09-13 04:02:49, Error                 DISM   DISM Provider Store: PID=8780 TID=8028 Failed to get the provider DISM Package Manager from the remote provider store. - CProxyProviderStore::GetProvider(hr:0x80004005)

Refer to "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/Debug/system-error-codes" for error information.

so I ran

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

and found that there are a few payloads that dism could not fix:

Checking System Update Readiness.

Can someone help me fix these payloads so I can try upgrading to Windows 10 again? Thanks

my dism.log file is 11mb so I have attached it via dropbox here:
dism.log

I have also tried downloading and running SFCFix v3.0.2.1
but it seems to freeze after running dism in the console

I have also ran sfc /scannow and found no integrity violations

Just realized I forgot to attach my CBS.zip: here is the dropbox link

Someone please delete / close this thread.

I found out that Windows 10 will keep a Windows.old folder of your files when doing a fresh install so I installed Windows 10 like that instead.
