What a mess upgrade to win 10 pro

squigglyanne said:

I have (well, HAD) Windows 7 Professional, and my notice to upgrade came up about 7 PM Eastern Time. My upgrade went painlessly, all is working well, and my 5 year old custom built PC acts almost brand new. I assume I got an early notice due to being a Windows Insider on the "fast ring".

Hi there. Did you try a reboot?

What this error means is, your Windows 10 installation folder is unfinished and/or corrupted. Now, how do you fix that?
1. Go into "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and delete everything in that folder.
2. Now, run the command prompt as an administrator. Type in "wuauclt.exe /updatenow".
3. Go to your Control Panel > Windows Update and your Windows 10 should start re-downloading from scratch, hopefully without flaws this time.

Tried that - did nothing. Fell back on the install from ISO. Would have done this ages ago but wanted to see how the standard update would go. Now I know!

Thanks Sipzi it works......now it says 5 gb download....before i had 19 tries of failed windows 10 upgrade !!!

Thanks Sipzi! I got mine to work too. Though I didn't have to delete anything, I just typed "wuauclt.exe /updatenow" in command prompt and the installation wizard came right up!

It just made it worst.. Now when I click on the Get Windows 10 button it allways give me the button "Ok notify me when ready" and never saves.. And in my Windows update screen it doesn't say that Windows 10 will be installed when it's ready it just says "Windows is up to date"
Please help me, I don't know what to do!!!
