Windows 10: Repair Install of Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

Hi ,

I want to do a repair install of windows 10 ( new 1607) with an in-place upgrade using DVD media ( .iso 1607 , engl/us ,all the same ) because of corrupted files although windows operation so far is good .
sfc /scannow ,
command prompt > DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth ,
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:E:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess , using the DVD media
couldn't repair .
In my present installation I don't use password to sign-in , so the welcome screen simply shows my photo and enters desktop normally.
The question is , should the new installation accept this or ask me to enter a password in welcome screen ?

Thanks in advance

:)

 

Repair Install of Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

Hi

I am already running on windows 10 version 1511 OS build 10586.873 previously upgraded from Windows 7 and due to some issue I will need to reinstall windows 10 without losing my files and program and so I am currently following this article

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

after I used the media creation tool to download the Windows 10 ISO I run into issue after clicking the setup from the ISO. After the "get important updates" screen, it proceed to "checking your PC" and run into an error "Windows 10 Setup- setup fail to
validate the product key" Because this is a OEM version of Windows 10 I do not have any product key nor did the screen prompt me for any product key"

I run a few google search where most of the issue might look similar but occurred during a upgrade process from Windows 7 or 8.1. I have try a few method from some of the suggestion

- unjoin the computer from the domain into a work group and login as a local administrator

- created a ei.cfg file and with the following and copy it into the source folder of the ISO

[EditionID]

Professional

[Channel]

Retail

I really have no other ideas what else to do.

Its possible that ISO is possibly corrupt. I would download the ISO then try again, but what I would recommend you not do is 'Get recommended updates'.
