Hi Jorge,

don't know if this helps but on Page 6 (Post: #58) I describe roughly the process I went through to "upgrade from windows 10 to windows 10 again". I described in #58 how at a certain point I got to a (I think) purplish screen (or some such colour) where you get asked to put in your Windows key - at this point I got unsure because I was worried that if I entered the key I would get a new (clean) install (did not know for sure if this was the case, but didn't want to take the chance)... I think you will find the rest in my #58 Post. (you do first need to download a W10 System copy onto a Flash - I think mine was 4GB which was large enough - but NOTE: it will delete anything else on the drive - best use a clean Flash) AND NO, doing it my way I did not enter my Key anywhere (just kind of repaired the old W10 - and kept all my stuff). Check out the whole 7 Pages for other details that might help. Good Luck!

Thank you very much.

Hey Shawn, in one of the threads I'm following in the Microsoft community, someone linked this tut to part of their solution for activating .NET 3.5.

Finally i have got my modified working solution 100% .
first follow the steps as decribed in the link below
DISM - Repair Windows 10 Image - Windows 10 Forums
After these steps .
restart your PC (most important)
Then go to
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features
--> Turn windows featues On or Off
tick the option for .net framework 3.5

It worked like a charm for me . .

Hi Shawn. I'm using the Dism command but it's telling me it can't find the source file. I'm directing it to the install.wim file on a DVD mounted with an ISO. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Hello Art, :)

You may need to use the command for install.esd instead. Double check to see which one the ISO uses.

gogreen · 28 Sep 2015

I checked. The ISO uses the install.wim file.

Brink · 28 Sep 2015

In that case, double check to make sure the command has the correct drive letter.

If it's correct try the command option without the /limitaccess switch.
