Windows 10: Windows 10 Media Creation Tool Stuck At "Checking For Updates"

So basically I just got a new laptop (Dell Lattitude e6520) and it's currently running Windows 7 Professional, but I really want to run Windows 10 on it. So I found online, that it's possible to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 free using the media creation tool. Can anyone confirm that? Do I need a product key? And also when I upgrade do I get Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro? (since I am currently running Windows 7 Pro)?


But anyways, my main concern is the upgrade time. I used the media creation tool and clicked "Upgrade This PC Now" and it finished downloading Windows and also it verified the download and now it's stuck at "Checking For Updates". It's been like this for 2 hours and I have a 12MB/second download speed so i don't understand why it is this slow. Does anybody know how to solve this and if it is even possible for my computer to upgrade to Windows 10 free?

Hi Jithesh,



You might face this issue if the downloaded setup file is corrupted.

• Did you try to download the setup again?
• Did you try to upgrade through Windows Update?

First, I would suggest you to try updating through Windows Update and check if you are able to upgrade to Windows 10. If you are unable to upgrade through Windows Update, then I would suggest you to download the Windows 10 ISO again and save it locally
on the desktop and then try to run the upgrade.

check the guide given below of tenforums that explain all the steps to create a USB:

Media creation Tool and Techbench are both updated with Version 1511.

The Techbench provides ISO's, so does the media creation Tool.You have both of the options, try anyone of these.

The size of the update through Windows update and ISO are nearly the same.

Media Creation Tool is NOT working

Hi,

There are several reasons why you're getting this issue on downloading Windows 10 using the
Media Creation Tool. The most common are the network connection or the anti-virus firewall is enabled on your device.

To resolve this, we suggest that you manually update the operating system instead of using the Media Creation Tool. Click on this
