    HI there,

    It seems that your system is having trouble downloading the update from Windows Update.

    Could you try working through Section C on this KB > https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/910341 and tell us the results.

    You may also be better of manually downloading the installation media from Microsoft as I've mentioned elsewhere.

    1) You do not need the icon, you can install using this link > Windows 10 so long as your copy of windows is Genuine, it will activate without issues. For this method, you will need your Installation License Key for activation.


    Please let me know how this works out for you.

    it is genuine as I got it direct from Microsoft after I got conned by version I bought online and used for nearly a year before it failed
    found this in answers Microsoft and seams to be working update saying preparing to install.
    have to wait and see what happens

    This worked for me...

    1) Access this file location C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and delete everything there. (Note delete only content found there and not the Download folder itself)

    2) Open CMD (command prompt) with run as administrator (admin privileges) and run this command: wuauclt.exe /updatenow

    The Update Window should pop-up with downloading Windows 10 again, and if your lucky it will be the complete kit this time.

    That post makes it seem like the original installation files were corrupted during the download. So clearing them out and starting again would fix it.

    Let us know how it goes!

    i did the method suggested it just keeps redownloading the files and prompts and error after its done, I guess because Microsoft still didn't push the "ok to install" the download in the GWX notification.

    Hi @hmd899, Can you please create a new thread with details pertaining to your problem? It may be similar or completely different to the OP.

    Thanks
    @goatty2, Seems like your system is all going strong now!
