Windows 10 won't upgrade, any ideas?

My winver shows the correct version. No idea what is wrong with yours.

At the top of the forum page, click User CP > left side, click Edit System Spec

That's covered in the Tutorial at this link: System Specs - Fill in at Ten Forums

Is there a compulsion here that we must quote the forums' tutorials ?

What's wrong with answering the question in one's own words ?

Hope someone has an idea of what my problem is. Wait, that doesn't sound right.... What my computer's problem is !

Your problem is you aren't using the correct ISO.

Why not check the creation date before you start the upgrade again? If you are using the ISO you downloaded within the last day the it will upgrade you to 1511 or fail.

If you use an old ISO with build 10240 is will do a repair install (and you'll then get all the old updates from Windows update again).

From this thread it seems 2x you have done a repair install. Perhaps you should delete all windows 10 ISO you have (just to be sure) and download again from the links @davidhk gave you (or at least check the date). There is other ways to be more certain what an ISO contains but the date is a pretty good start.

Anyway, just a thought - happy new year to you both...

Hello lx07,
As your pointed out "Happy New Year" to you and to all the members! The ISO I previously downloaded and burned is dated 12/18/15.
The image I downloaded last night from the links @davidhk are marked 12/18/15. Where might I try to locate a later version that might be the correct ISO? Thanks for your time and lending a hand!

It sounds like it should be correct. However lets make sure...

Mount the iso (by double clicking on it), go to a command prompt and run this (command in red, assuming it is mounted at K)

Code:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:k:\sources\install.esd /index:1

Try this tutorial if it isn't clear (you might have to change .esd to .wim in the command etc)...

Only run the upgrade again if your version is definitely 10586 where it says "Version" above :)

Thanks.....Enjoy.

I mounted the ISO and it came up as my DVD Drive (F:) ESD_ISO. I ran the command in an elevated command prompt and it happened so fast, suddenly there was a notepad window with a ton of stuff in it.
I ejected the DVD Drive to clear the ISO and mounted it again and reran the commands and now I get error 3



Most certainly can wait until the New Year, family coming over for dinner!
Again I wish all who have helped and the membership as a whole, a Happy New Year!!
