Windows 10: Win10 Update "This PC Can't run Windows 10"

Trying to update a computer running windows 10 home. It is an HP computer that came pre-installed with Windows 7 home and was upgraded to windows 10 when it became available. When I try to run updates I get errors that the updates failed. After digging through everything, I finally got the error "Windows couldn't update the system reserved partition."


I found the instructions on this page, but it says to use the System Reserved partition and I only have a System partition before the C:\

I found this article that discussed instructions on re-sizing my C:\ so that I'd have 600mb or so free for the update to create said System Reserved partition. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...ion-cant/8ee6cd40-8e5a-4ec6-9cc3-80a305a97eec


Is this what I need to do? Create an empty partition at least 600mb?


This pc current version is:

Windows 10

Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.547)


PC DIsk Management




Thanks for the help!

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

 

Win10 updates

The initial one was KB3035583 to get the Get Windows 10 app (GWX). Though that particular update is probably pages upon dozens of pages down the list by now.
