Can't upgrade Insider Preview 10525 to TH2 Build 10586

I have Insider Preview 10525 installed on a dual boot system with openSUSE. Windows 10 is activated. However even though I'm on the Fast Ring I haven't gotten any updates or new build for quite awhile. I use WSUS to get security updates.

I downloaded Windows TH2 Build 10568 from the "official" Windows 10 News site (Microsoft - but uses MEGA servers) which posted today.

Windows 10 boots fine but says to install Windows from my installed copy - fair enough.

When I run setup.exe from the DVD I get the helpful message "Something happened" - real informative. After trying several times I get to the license page and skip the updates (this caused the helpful message above. I skipped the product key entry since Windows 10 was installed and activated. Then I get the refallyh bizarre error that the installer cannot determine if I am running Windows 10!

I have almost 97 programs installed and working great so I'm not going to do a clean install. I probably can't return to build 10240 if I use the recovery mode but I'm almost ready to try to revert - if I can - since I have an image created by the AOEMI Backupper program which has restored system backups many times when I or Windows screws up.

Does anybody have any idea how I'll be able to install build 10586 - since apparently the normal Windows 10 update in Settings is not going to work.

Moved to where??

I read your post several times and I really can't understand what you're talking about. Good luck.

In other words, you mess with gray market junk, and you get what you deserve.

Very helpful - thanks

Regarding the inability to tell whether win 10 is installed, I wonder if it is looking at the SUSE partition??

Not very helpful, but maybe something to eliminate/follow up.

Actually that is quite possible. I've been using a Paragon program that allows Windows access (via a mounted drive) to openSUSE ext4 partitions. I'm been thinking I will uninstall the Paragon program - but the "damage" - if you can call it that is probably done. Hasn't affected SUSE in anyway.

Thanks!
