Windows 10: problem upgrading dell vostro 1000 laptop

here is the page for the ISO images that I can only see in safari or chrome on my iPad, but not in chrome or edge in my PC. using


Download Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO File)

 

Try IE - it works for me. This is a picture taken right now - as you can see the version is 1511 which is the 10586 release.





You want to choose Edition Windows 10 then click on <confirm>

It will then as you for the Language - choose English International and press <confirm> (this is UK English - if you want US English choose just English instead)

Then it will ask if you want 32 or 64 bit - you can decide and it will start downloading.

The ISO contains both Home and Pro. When you do your clean install pick Pro as you are using a 7 Pro key.

 

Note the date of November 22, 2015 on that article - things changed after that.

 

are we talking DR WHO ? or did you mean 2015 LOL.....I take your point, problem is nothing every leaves the Internet once posted...

So do I take it that ALL ISO downloads are with the November update 105086 or whatever it's called ?

thanks

still doesn't explain the strange behaviour in trying to get the web site in my previous post...

 

LOL, yup, my bad - corrected it. As far as I know, all MS avenues for Iso download currently supply version 1511, .i.e., build 10586.

 

Read what is written in the screenshot you posted:
"You've been routed to this page because the operating system you're using won't support the Windows 10 media creation tool"

You got that because you were using an iPad and were redirected to a web page for unsupported operating systems.

On your PC, you were using an operating system (Windows) that did support the media creation tool so you were not redirected to the webpage for unsupported operating systems.

 

thanks I completely didn't spot that....thank you, saved me going mad, so no way of opening that on a PC, even with LiNUX running, guess it will,still do the same.....
have to,download using media creation tool and get ISO that way

 

You haven't said what problem you are having when you try to download the Tech Bench ISO only that it doesn't work.

What do you actually see in your browser when you try to go to this address? Code: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench[/quote] Note that it isn't required for it to be downloaded on a Windows PC - I just tested on OSX and exactly the same method works as described in post #30.





You can of course use Media Creation Tool if you prefer - just take the option to install on another PC if you want to make an ISO to do your clean install. Good luck *Smile
