It happens to new computers with fresh Windows 10 version Build 10240.

Some have a Fix with "defer upgrade" option, but she's not in Home version.

Hi Tiribos and welcome to Tenforums.
If I understand you correctly, you have 10240 on your "W10 Home" system, and the error happens when trying to update to the November 1511 release, correct?

In this case, the page previous to the one you link, has the answer:

Use the ISO's to do an In-place upgrade.

Media creation Tool is now updated with Version 1511, OS Build 10586 of Windows 10.

Then do an InPlace upgrade using Method 1 from here:
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
The size of the update through Windows update and ISO are nearly the same.
