Anniversery Edition won't install

The title says it all. If I look in the Windows logs in the event viewer there is nothing that looks to be to do with it.

I do the restart & install updates. It restarts, and I get progress messages up to 87% at which point it says it can't update and reboots. This seems to take forever when I'm sitting looking at it.

After a failure the Update & Security -> Windows Update settings window says it's preparing to install updates as once more it downloads the update...

I have the Anniversary edition on my laptop, am quite happy with it, really want to get it on my desktop!

It shouldn't be a lack of HDD problem. The system reserved on Disk 0 is 500MB, C: is 232.40GB (according to disk management) and C: has 106GB free space according to it's properties. The actual disk is a Samsung HDD.

I can't find an exact error message - if I could I would have Googled it. Where should it be, please? I've looked in Event Viewer.

Have you tried anything I suggested?

No, not had time, it will take some time to do the download, but I'll look in the error log & MS post.

No luck, got Windows 10 installation failed, but the system is still useable.

Grrr.

Forgot to mention the chkdsk C: /F was fine. Will do the second command tomorrow.

The scannow found some errors the first time, the second time it was fine. I'll have another go with the disk after refreshing my backups:


C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
