    Problem with downloading/installing MCT upgrade (and others)


    The other day I had notification of a new upgrade which had a very large file size (4gb).

    Very often in the past large upgrades seemed to fail on installation quite frequently - so I started to download them from the catalog and install them offline.
    I do this because I have a metered connection and having to download upgrades twice would reduce my allowance.

    However I could not find a way to download the latest upgrade (The Win 10 Creators update to version 1703) so went ahead and used the normal method - and guess what! - after the download the installation failed and the system wanted to download the 4GB (10 % of my allowance) again.

    So can anyone tell me - do I need to install this upgrade (I don't know what else it covers, but I don't need to create installation media), and if so, where can I download it independently of the system upgrade function.

    :)

    Aceess denied - USB Files Windows 10

    As a solution, we recommend that you reinstall the Operating System (OS) by in-place upgrade/clean install . You can download the
    Windows 10 ISO
    here    . To perform an in-place upgrade, click on Download tool now to download the
    Media Creation Tool (MCT) and save it on the desktop. From there, run the MCT and proceed with the in-place upgrade. If the in-place upgrade does not resolve the problem, we suggest that you proceed with the clean installation.

    We look forward to your reply.

    Using mct, download iso instead, double click on it and run setup.exe.

    @pewe,
    mct means the Microsoft provided Media Creation Tool:
    Download Windows 10

    Click the Download Tool Now button.
