Thanks, you were right -- I was out of date.
Windows Update failed miserably with the anniversary update. So I used the Media Creation Tool and created an ISO.
I also disabled Windows Defender, just in case. I had Avast!, but uninstalled it and then ran the Avast cleanup utility just to be safe.
Still ended up failing at 71%, due to STOP CODE.
And then greeted with this:
When I elected to install, I selected not to download updates during the installation process (but instead to do later)... I figured that would be safer. Is it better to let the installer download updates during the process, even though I'm using a downloaded ISO?
