Upgrade from 8.1 to 10 - Update cancelled ... ? why?
Using Windows Update
I accept the now "important update" to upgrade to Windows 10 from 8.1 from the updates and it proceeds to upgrade. I get the "Your update to Windows 10 is Ready" and reboot. It goes through the configuring update for Windows 10. Next is the Upgrade to Windows 10, Get Started. Downloads, accept the license terms, starts the upgrade and reboots. Configures updates, ... what? .... downloading windows 10 ? again?
Other times, after it reboots and continues to upgrade I get the usual Windows Update window with the update not installed stating that it was canceled. Canceled? What? By who, why? ??? (no error code)
I tried the "Get Windows 10" patch, same issue. I extracted the embedded product key (jelly bean or wmic path ..) and tried to run a fresh install, it doesn't accept the key.
Since this update process, at random, (no domain) I log in and get a temporary profile, yes on a local account.
How do I get Windows ten to install on this laptop?
