    New Laptop with 1809 - try to update to 1909 - get 80070003 error


    Hi folks.

    Hope you can help.

    Brand-new laptop delivered today. Ran Winver and got 1809 as version.

    Ran Windows update several times and was eventually offered 1909.

    Tried updating and got the error message "We couldn't install this update, but you can try again (0x80070003).

    Any suggestions?

    As I said, this is a brand-new laptop (currently about 4 hrs old).

    Art

    :)

    error code 80070003


    Hi Mike. I recently upgraded a Lenovo 8.1 x64 laptop without issue.
    Error 80070003 is usually indicative of partition issues. Have you used EaseUS Partition Manager on that laptop? If so, please go here:

    New Laptop with 1809 - try to update to 1909 - get 80070003 error

    Window10 couldn't be installed error code 80070003

    I have tried both of the steps suggested by Raju above.

    I deleted edb.log and

    SFC reported 'no problems'.

    Restarted Windows 7 and went thru the download and preparing for installation.

    Same results

    Windows 10 couldn't be installed

    Code 80070003 Windows Update encountered an unknown error

    What's the diagnosis to try next?
