    I have basically tried everything to update from 1909 to 2004. I keep getting the 0x80004005 error. I've done the DISM and scan solutions. I've tried installing using the upgrade assistant. I've also tried the Media Creation tool. I've tried with anti-virus disabled. Nothing works. Can someone please help me with this. I can supply any of the logs required.

    :)

    0x80004005-0x1000A The installation failed in the DOWNLEVEL phase with an error during PREPARE_FIRST_BOOT operation.

    I have tried everything. The latest error is

    0x80004005-0x1000A The installation failed in the DOWNLEVEL phase with an error during PREPARE_FIRST_BOOT operation.

    I have dropboxs links.

    Windows update log; Dropbox - Link not found

    setupact.log link; Dropbox - Link not found

    setuperr.log link; Dropbox - Link not found

    I don't understand these but I have been having this problem for a long time now and could never install 1809 so I thought 1903 would maybe work but it don't.

    I tried Windows 10 ISO and that didn't work. I did the Update Assistant 3 times and that got me the closest. I have deleted all the files they said to delete and retry and nothing works. I have been working on this for months.

    Also I am obviously not a computer tech so I need the steps explained.
