Hi Bree,
As I didn't want a clean install and lose all the installed programs, then I am very glad that the boot option from the USB didn't work!

So now I will try running the Setup.exe file and...

Hi f14tomcat.
Thanks for that link.
Having to reply on different machine as the laptop has for some reason when shutting down, decided to go into “Peparing to configure Windows. Don’t turn off your...

Hi f14tomcat.

I am trying to upgrade to 1709 and have got the download from the tool you provided the link to.

However I have had to use a different program to get the ISO onto the USB as the...

Hi f14tomcat,

Phew! I nearly missed this one! Think you might have had the 'Afterburners' running! LOL!
I have now got the 'other' tool, Thanks for that, and spotting the error!

No problem. Interestingly when you 'disable' in Task Scheduler in the Windows Update 'folder' it doesn't automatically 'disable' Windows Update in the services.msc listing.

Hi Bree,

Just before I got your reply I had already started the update using the WUMT program to get the 3.41Gb of 'program'.

Hi Bree,

I looked at 1709 and found it was a download of 3.41Gb while when I just downloaded it using WUMT the file was just 24.92Mb, which seemed a bit strange!
So we will see what happens when...
