    Can't upgrade Windows 10 build 19042.330 to 19042.421: not supported directory or lower version


    Hi dears. I download the latest Windows 10 build 19042.421 on my computer, and tried to upgrade my current version 19042.388 to it. But when I mount the iso and run `setup.exe`, I'm stuck on the step "Choose what to keep". It always shows only one option which is "Nothing"! And in the bottom it shows an error message as follows:

    Can't upgrade Windows 10 build 19042.330 to 19042.421: not supported directory or lower version cfb70fa5-8d1a-4ff1-a839-2708d053b26f?upload=true.png


    My Windows version number is lower than the one I want to install, and the OS is on C:\, no Program Files path changed or moved. But I still get this message. Anyone knows why this happened? I'm afraid I can't upgrade my Windows via iso method. Thanks!

    :)

    Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

    I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

    After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

    I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:
    • Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
    • Try different keyboard or mouse.
    • Restart computer, repeatedly.
    • Google for related issues.
    • Update Bios, because why not.
    • Create boot media and revert to windows 7.
    The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

    Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
