Updating to build 10565

My desktop found and installed build 10565 without any problem, even when I was just signed on with a local account.

However my laptop on build 10547 does not appear to be able to find build 10565 regardless of whether I am signed on with a local or MS account. The advanced update options show that the fast ring is selected.

Could I just copy the $WINDOWS.~BT directory from my desktop and then run the setup?

Convert the 10565 ESD to ISO on the desktop, then you can use the ISO to upgrade the laptop.

I don't see an ESD file on my desktop computer. I have found them with them earlier insider builds.

I haven't upgraded to 10565 yet. In the past, I have just started with the root folder C:\ and searched for *.esd immediately before or after the upgrade. I can never remember where it's at. And make sure to have show hidden files/folders turned on.

You are looking for install.esd. This is in $WindowsBT/Sources.

Sadly I don't have that file on my desktop PC. :-(

In File explorer click the view tab and make sure that show hidden Items is checked. It should be in $Windows.~BT\Sources.

No luck, my impression is that the Sources folder has what you need to install W10, but not the ESD file itself.
