  1. Windows 10 upgrade fails even through media creation/ISO method


    I am trying to update on a Dell Inspiron 15 that came with Win 8.1 single language. The laptop is BRAND NEW. I just uninstalled Dell crapware and resized the partition.

    All tries, whether through the regular update channel or through the media creation tool have failed. Even tried the ISO download, but it fails at around 25% with the something happened error.

    I even followed all the steps outlined in this forum, where a fellow user had the exact same problem, to no avail: Failed four different strategies to upgrade to Win10 - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums

    Some help would be very appreciated.

    :)

  2. Unable to update to a newer Windows 10 version

    It seems I failed to make it clear all upgrade methods I've tried so far (Upgrade Assistant, Media Creation Tool iso and direct upgrade) failed. So I fail to see how waiting for the next build to be avaible through the MCT would solve it if the underlying
    issue isn't solved ?

  3. What are these Errors?

    Though not an official way, but if you cannot get Windows 10 ISO from Media creation Tool, you can directly download the ISO and do an Inplace upgrade.

    Select Windows 10-valid for both home and ProLanguage-Accordingly.

    (Others reading this are recommended to use Media creation Tool to download an ISO, if that fails use this method)Reply back with the status.
