Windows 10: Windows Updates on Remote user (non-Domain-joined) Laptops

We have a fleet of about 65 remote users with HP 840 G3 laptops, all with Windows 10 installed, Version 1607. The users are getting prompts to update the OS Version, which requires admin approval to begin. I have been able to remote in and start the update, and it will run in the background for about an hour, then they receive a failure blue screen, (See attached). When I check the updates settings screen, it is showing the laptop is up to date. Can you let me know why this is happening?


As I understand it, the most recent Windows Version is 1803, correct? The laptops on the Domain are now running v1709, as they have received the updates upon re-boot.

How to reserve Windows 10 for a non-domain joined PC (but perhaps fomerly domain joined)

My reservation icon for Windows 10 has not appeared. After ensuring i have all outstanding Windows updates, and run the script that runs scheduled tasks, the icon still doesn't appear.

Then there was the hint from
KB3081048:

> The "Get Windows 10" app doesn’t appear in Windows 7 or 8.1

>

> If your device is has been connected to a domain it may be blocked from the upgrade reservation.

It is entirely possible that for 2 or 3 minutes two or three years ago, my machine
was joined to a domain.

• What registry key is the upgrade advisor mistakenly using to determine if a machine is joined to a domain?
• How do i check if a machine was previously joined to a domain?
• How do i unjoin a non-domain joined machine from a domain?
• How do reserve a copy of Windows 10 for a non-domain joined PC?

Bonus Chatter: It's a Surface Pro 3

I tried using the
Media Creation Tool, but it fails with a non-descript error:



How do i upgrade to Windows 10 now that it is released?
