    Updating Windows on an older Dell from W10 1709


    My old Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520 runs W10 v1709 build 16299.967 and while it still sees W10 updates it refuses to install them*. I seem to remember hearing from Dell a while back this model is not able to upgrade further than 1709. Would it accept W11? Is there anything I can do to fix the situation short of buying a new laptop? - I've tried all the "installation issue" fixes there are over the past few years, so I'm pretty sure this is hardware related... :*I've been able to update my virus defences, Office and other components, but my core software is still obstinately old-fashioned.TI

    Windows 10 Home on Dell Inspiron 3847 will not update to 1709

    I have two identical boxes with same issue- Windows 10 Home will not update to 1709. Here are the hardware specs & steps taken to fix the problem:

    Dell Inspiron 3847
    Windows 10 Home ver 1607 OS Build 14393.1944
    Intel Core i5-4460 3.2G
    12GB RAM
    Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600
    1TB SATA HDD

    It downloads and attempts to install the latest updates then several hours later reverts back to where it was.
    So far:
    - installed & ran Windows Update Troubleshooter & taken the steps that it suggests
    - renamed Windows 10 upgrade folder and downloaded the latest updates
    - deleted the software distribution folder & downloaded/installed again
    - ran windows cleanup and deleted all those files
    - tried stopping & disabling the windows update service to prevent it from continuing
    There is licensed software so a clean install is out of the question.

    These PC's are installed in a restaurant and when this happens the whole place shuts down during lunch & dinner. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    Updating Windows on an older Dell from W10 1709

    Creative X-Fi Soundcards and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709 = Complete Disaster / Not Working

    Thank you for trying to help , i did tried your suggestion but it did not work :/ , nothing seems to make it work on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709. In the meantime i have bought a new SoundBlasterX AE-5 and it did installed flawlessly , no problems whatsoever. it is up to Creative ( drivers ) and Microsoft ( bug fix ) to fix this huge bugs with Audio.

    Kind Regards: Chispy
