Hello @BrokenDaily,
It sounds like you had one of those days yourself. Sorry about that.
Are you able to update his computer via Windows Update to the latest version/build?
Hello @BrokenDaily,

I would, but my dad is a bit computer illiterate when it comes to fixing problems on windows and gets frustrated if it isnt simple enough for him to understand; now im not saying he's totally crud when it comes to computers or hardware in general (he's retired navy, so he knows his hardware when it truly matters), but since I am the family tech support when it comes to fixing their windows problems, they go to me
I can try and see if his windows update will work (last update installed was an October servicing stack update), and i believe it will find an update. will respond when done
- - - Updated - - -
he apparently installed whatever needed updates he had, and he has 2 optional updates (KB4520012, and KB4520408)
Your ISO sounds like some older Windows 10 Insider ISO (there was a build 17115). You should just download a Windows 8.1 Pro ISO to use for DISM Source, if you end up needing one.

EDIT: Sorry, There is a Service Pack level on the ISO that I just downloaded for Windows 8.1 of 17415. So that is right. Pro is at /Index:1 of the install.wim file on the ISO.
Code:DISM /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:F:\sources\install.wim /Index:1 Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.18362.1 Details for image : F:\sources\install.wim Index : 1 Name : Windows 8.1 Pro Description : Windows 8.1 Pro Size : 13,185,962,705 bytes WIM Bootable : No Architecture : x64 Hal : acpiapic Version : 6.3.9600 ServicePack Build : 17415 ServicePack Level : 0 Edition : Professional Installation : Client ProductType : WinNT ProductSuite : Terminal Server System Root : WINDOWS Directories : 18805 Files : 104794 Created : 2014-11-21 - 11:07:26 AM Modified : 2014-11-21 - 11:08:09 AM Languages : en-US (Default) The operation completed successfully.
To be clear, I downloaded the windows 8.1 iso using the microsoft website, so I'm not downloading another; also, I used NTLite to both download and integrate all windows 8.1 (64-Bit) updates that it listed, and I tried thecommand, and both times it came away with a "sorry, we so dumb we can't find the .wim file even though you clearly specified the path in question" errorCode:dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth /Source:wim:(install.wim path here):1 /limitaccess
now I tried this from the USB I had the iso files on, and I even tried copying to the ROOT of the C: drive, and still nothing, just the same "sorry, can't find it" error. This is getting stupid at this point, so ill just do a refresh/repair install and if that doesnt fix it, I swear im gonna get the type of mad that'd ban me from any forum (not the illegal terms kind god no, but bad language kind)
And also make sure you are using the proper command (step 5 in the referenced link below) for your .iso:
See Full Details about a Windows 10 ISO file
This is what my dism tool is telling me about the install.wim file
And as for then error its saying on my father's computer, that will take a bit as I'm reformatting the USB drive I was using due to a small bit of corruption on it, will reply with output later onCode:Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.3.9600.17483 Details for image : install.wim Index : 1 Name : Windows 8.1 Pro Description : Windows 8.1 Pro Size : 18,965,749,183 bytes WIM Bootable : No Architecture : x64 Hal : acpiapic Version : 6.3.9600 ServicePack Build : 19507 ServicePack Level : 0 Edition : Professional Installation : Client ProductType : WinNT ProductSuite : Terminal Server System Root : WINDOWS Directories : 24074 Files : 133912 Created : 11/21/2014 - 11:07:26 AM Modified : 10/29/2019 - 11:00:14 AM Languages : en-US (Default)
Post a sceenshot (or copy and paste the lot) of cmd with the command being run and the error output from dism
Your command syntax is probably wrong
