Windows 10: Windows 10 build 1803 got to 71% installing failed

If you have a problem with the windows upgrade 1803, you must delete the content of users Recent folder's in :

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent


you must do that for all users and restart the upgrade

Windows 10 build 10240 got to 71% installing twice and stuck there

I have a Dell Latitude 10. It came with Win 8 32 bit. I upgraded to Win 10 during the free upgrade time. When the 1607 update came out, the machine went to crud. It always failed at 71%. I did the above steps. I finally busted out my Win 8 install stick
that came from Dell. I did a clean install of Win 8. Great. i did the upgrade installation and It got stuck at the exact same 71%. When I rebuilt the machine I only deleted the windows partition. I'm now going to wipe the entire drive and see if it continues.
This is beyond frustrating.

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I just did step one and they have just all installed.... thank you so much.... it was quite frustrating having that update window pop up every 5 minutes and failing to instal every time

Thanks mate

 

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
