    Windows 10 1703 Upgrade Failing


    For a few weeks now I've been trying to install the new Windows 10 1703 upgrade and it keeps failing.

    It goes through the whole check the system thing, everything is ok and then proceeds to download the 2.9gb update esd file. Following that it goes through the install procedure where it either throws up an install error and reverts back to the previous configuration, or it just reboots and I'm back where I started.

    I will say at this point that I did manage to install it just once, but then I was plagued with the PC crashing every 5 minutes and shutting down, so i re-installed the original version of Win 10 off my disc thinking it was a software issue. It was then I discovered that it wasn't a software issue at all, it was in fact my fan not cooling the CPU adequately enough so consequently it was shutting down.

    To get it to install I followed these instructions on this web page

    Fixed: Windows 10 Creator (1703) Update Stuck/Fail to Install Repeatedly – EaseUS

    I didn't do methods 1 or 2, I jumped straight to method 3....It seemed to work then... But since then I haven't been able to get the update to install.

    Help!... Has anyone got on suggestions.......

    Thanks in advance

    Andy

    Windows 10 Versions

    There are at least three versions of windows 10: 1607, 1703, 1709. One PC, upgraded from windows 7, uses version 1703 while a second, upgraded from windows 8.1, continues to use 1607 after failed attempts to upgrade to version 1703. What is the significance
    of these different versions of windows 10?

    Windows 10 1703 Upgrade Failing

    Hi, best to eliminate elementary issues - please try some basic checks.
    1. Download and run Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) and post a screenshot of its GUI
    To post a screenshot please use the Insert Image icon above your post to the left of the video icon


    2. If ok:
    From an admin command prompt
    [Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
    chkdsk C: /F
    Your PC will need to restart.
    Post back the result, which you can get after a restart as follows:
    Read Chkdsk Log in Event Viewer in Windows 10 Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials
    or
    How to read Event Viewer log for Chkdsk in Windows 10 [Tip] | Reviews, news, tips, and tricks | dotTechdotTech
    or
    How do I see the results of a CHKDSK that ran on boot? - Ask Leo!
    Make sure the result is clear or fixed- else do not proceed.

    3. Separate downloading the iso and the update and installation process.
    Download it manually:
    Download Windows 10 ISO File Windows 10 Installation Upgrade Tutorials

    When you have that you can use it repeatedly, and you also have a useful bootable tool for certain repairs if you create a DVD or bootable USB drive.

    Create Bootable USB Flash Drive to Install Windows 10 Windows 10 Installation Upgrade Tutorials

    4. Before you try upgrading again - which is a risk - please create a disk image of what you have now. (We strongly urge people to routinely use disk imaging- so many advantages, including potentially reducing the need to clean install). E.g. Macrium reflect (free) + its boot medium + external storage for image sets.

    If things go wrong, you can get back to where you were fairly readily.
    (Disk imaging helps even if your disk fails or your PC is unbootable e.g. and also creates a full backup)

    5. When upgrading:
    - disable your AV, disconnect any unnecessary peripherals; also see 'Here's How' in the tutorial below.

    What went wrong? See:
    Upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 10 Installation Upgrade Tutorials

    - & see the yellow Tips section

    Then see
    How to Troubleshoot common Setup and Stop Errors during Windows - Microsoft Community

    Please also post a screenshot of your partitions: Minitool Partition Wizard is good for this - please make sure all text in columns is fully displayed.

    Thanks.

    Good- meanwhile you can do (1) Download and run Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) and post a screenshot of its GUI
    and post a screenshot of your partitions: Minitool Partition Wizard is good for this - please make sure all text in columns is fully displayed.

    That's quite easy.
    The logs may be helpful, but not so straightforward.
