    Upgraded by mounting iso and running setup.exe


    Upgraded my Dell Inspiron 15R by mounting the iso I created from install.wim on a Oracle VB VM using WHS's ESD Converter tool. I copied the install.wim to the ESD Converter folder on my Lenovo 450K 3.4 Quad Core with 16GB ram and ran it there to generate the iso. Took about 8 minutes.

    Copied the iso to my Dell Inspiron 15R then right clicked on it and selected Mount.
    Ran startup.exe from the mounted iso to upgrade from 10041 to 10049.
    4 to 6 hours later (not sure how long as I went to bed) it finished and I have a fully functional laptop at the 10049 build level. Is there a log file of the upgrade and if so, where is it?

    No flash drive or DVD needed, very nice and easy way to upgrade.

    Surprisingly, no Windows.old was created. I had deleted Windows.old from the 10041 upgrade before doing this upgrade.

    :)

    windows 10 anniversary update

    You're welcome. Run the iso from within Windows 10 to accomplish the upgrade.

    Right click on the iso file and select Mount. This will mount the iso in a partition with a drive letter.

    Click on the Setup.exe file and the upgrade will begin.

    As always, first backup what you don't want to lose in case of a problem.
