Windows 10: clean installation

I have a Windows 7 Dell PC...have the free upgrade to Windows 10 (did this a couple years ago) Now I am having problems with installing new updates (1809 and 1903) after downloading and restart. Have uninstalled 3rd party anti virus, updated all drivers, have made at least 7 attempts to update but still the same error code or "system unable to configure"....can anyone tell me how to do this?????? thank you...……..

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
