Stuck on build 10041

So, A long time ago back on build 10041 I installed tech preview on my laptop. today I came back to this laptop haven't used it since

and I an unable to update from 10041 I am just getting a error(0x8024044a) when updating

 

Not much help on this site.

 

Welcome to !0Forums ,,
Sky Did you try going back to previous build and re-download you update. If you go to update advanced options. then undue? That's what I would do .Then re-download the update and try again. Good luck to you.

 

Hi 'Sky', welcome to W10F! *Smile

Try skipping use a password hint, that's the only 'red light' I can guess at.

 

I have tried skipping the password hint.
This is a fresh install from a ESD download and not an upgrade. Upgrade works OK but I am NOT a fan of upgrades. lol

Thanks.*Sad

 

If the are software issues I can ALWAYS find them. lol

 

I hear you on that finding bugs. So spose you also tried not putting in password also. Did you burn a disk or use a usb drive?

 

But of course I have tried passwords, various id's. And I am installing from USB.

 

The terminator is fighting you *Roflmao2 Sorry couldn't resist. Try adding a current nic driver to the usb. Before installing, hit the load driver option. I had that issue once and always load my nic driver on installs now.

 

I'll be back! Talk to the hand! Lol.
Not sure what you mean as this is a fresh install after format of hard drive.

 

I think my terminator joke confused me *Redface Have you had any more luck with it?

 

This is the screen I get if installing with Ethernet connection. I have no option to use a Microsoft Account and if I choose Create a Local Account I get back into the same crap of something went wrong error message.

 

Before that there is a screen to choose this this device belong to me I believe. I never got a screen with Set up windows for work or school. Look at this post
