How to get the Windows 10 Anniversary Update

Im trying this again but at no point when the laptop rebooted did I get ANY message about pressing any key I just left everything alone, like when I did it with the disc, and it goes ahead and asks me to install everything again this is nuts

Turns out I had to take out the USB thumb drive AFTER it finished now its on getting ready

You were still set to have the flash drive as first in the boot order which would be the same as when having the cd rom set as first where you had to eject the media in either case to prevent the boot from that. That prevents the installer from firing up all over again.

Generally if the need to change optical or usb to first arrises as with the HP laptop that apparently offered no F4, F11, or F12 Boot device menu option at post time when first turning the unit on I would pause the posts to reset the OS drive to first and then allow the rest of the installation or upgrade to proceed since the installation files had already been unpacked onto the main drive before the first automatic restart takes place.

At any other time and seen most often with desktops far much more so then with laptops, tablets with limited options you would otherwise hit the F key assigned for the boot device menu and never even change the boot order from HD to removable but simply boot from the one time boot session to see the setup files unpacked and then watch the automatic boot into the OS drive where the install continues on from. You get used to it after a few tries!

You will then want to download the iso by way of the MC Tool save to folder option which covers everything and be prepared for the manual upgrade as I had to see here on the Toshiba 17" ordered back in January which apparently had the TH2 preinstalled. The RS1 didn't show when going to update that as well as on the main still running the 386 Insider and the seconrdary with 393.5 where those two already running the RS1 only Insider not general had to be manually tended to as well as the 3rd desktop which saw the TH2 upgrade from 7 just lately in order to grab the offer as well as update things for the system which presently lacks any ISP.
(That situation is another matter entirely there!)

I just downloaded an ISO from MSDN, and put it on a flash drive. You can't get the Education version via the MCT as far as I know. One upgraded on its own via windows update. Another I upgraded manually. They've had clean installs done on them since then for testing purposes anyway. My wife's laptop is the only PC that, as far as I know, hasn't upgraded. I'd have to go have a look see next time she has it on.

Just run the Setup which checked my PC and found no problems. It then downloaded and run the setup but has stopped at this screen.



I have no idea what program is causing the problem and I assume the text and/or icon should be a hyperlink - they aren't. There seems no way out other than closing down the dialog. Clicking "Refresh" just shows the same dialog again. How do I find out what program it's complaining about?

BTW I'm running a recent install from scratch and all programs have been installed since the install. None are exhibiting any problems.

[Edit] Just exited the dialog and received the message "You can contact Microsoft support for help with error code 0xc1900209"

Cheers,

presume manually uninstall is also linkless???

Can you clean install education with that ISO though? And just so there is no confusion, could you post the link you used to do that download. That way I can get that same ISO to test it myself.
The reason I ask, can you clean install Education is, as follows. My MSDN ISO is listed as being able to install Home or Pro. But I can also do a change key to upgrade to Education or Enterprise. No Internet connection needed and no prompt for install media. The extra features are just unlocked/installed from the files already there. That may be why its listed as you show?
