    Windows Update downloads 10, but can't install it?


    I keep trying to download the 10 upgrade again and again, in hopes that sometime it'll actually work, but it never does. On the Windows Update history, it shows "Windows 10 Upgrade" as "unsuccessful".

    What do I do?

    :)

    Feature Update downloads but does not install

    I have been trying to install the features update to Windows 10. It downloads, and tries to install. It asks me to reboot the computer, tries to install the update, and then after 5 minutes, it reboots back to the screen and nothing's changed. I click into
    the update and security settings on the Windows settings, and I see that it needs to reboot to finish the update, but it's downloading the update once again.

    What the heck is this doing, and how can I get this to stop its nonsense and either finish the update or not install it at all?

    Feature Update downloads but does not install

    Hello,

    Conflicts with some third-party software, unstable Internet connections, security software blockages are a few factors that can cause issues with installing an update. We suggest that you manually download and install the Windows 10 Fall Creators update
    found on this
    link    .

    You may also find some troubleshooting steps
    here     suitable for Windows update issues.

    Let us know if that addressed your concern.

    Follow the instructions here to download and create an ISO. You can then burn a DVD or create a flash drive to upgrade with by inserting either and running setup.exe from it: Windows 10 ISO Download - Windows 10 Forums

    Or you can just mount the iso from your booted Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 system by right clicking on it and select Mount, then run setup.exe from the mounted ISO, That's how I upgraded my 8.1 system here at home.

    Thank ou for your post.

    I'm creating a bootable usb as we speak right now. So using this method, if I were to clean install, I need to upgrade first in order to license my device and ONLY THEN clean install right?

    Yes, upgrade first so and make sure it activates, then clean install.
