i dont have a large external disk so im unable to make an image of this machine.
i disconnected the internet and let it reboot. then i ran sfc /scannow 7 times (reboot after eatch one)
but still i get this in my cbs.logAttachment 196026
how should i proceed now? should i try to run windows update? first dism maby?
Your first step is to buy a disk. For example, see my specs. I use a 2Tb disk for images- at a pinch, 1Tb would do.
Allright will do. So whats next did you check the cbs.log? How should i proceed
What was the summary report on the screen? What is it that concerns you?
As you're aiming to upgrade, inconsistencies in SFC /SCANNOW don't really matter, as all system files will be replaced, so long as the upgrade process completes.
Just make sure your disk is fine. It's actually more important that your disk is ok and chkdsk is successful, assuming the upgrade process completes.
1) Please make a brand new restore point

@dalchina....agree with you......in the earlier post the OP commented that they had to wait to purchase a drive to make a backup image. And earlier in the thread you suggested checking the drive. The steps above are log collecting and checking the OS so that there is a post of the results into the thread.
Not quite- there are some repair steps there.
I don't want to do anything that could possibly compromise this- however low risk- until we have a disk image. After that, I rather think there will be some difficulty upgrading, which would be the next objective.
Agree.........there were problems upgrading 1607. (three upgrades)
