Right 100% giving up for this evening. If needs be I will make bootable media tomorrow when I'm home from work or borrow a USB stick from someone to boot from that.

Boom Windows 10. Upgrade has worked fine, but I am going to backup the Windows.Old it created and then 'Reset this PC' without keeping anything. Shouldn't take too long I hope.

Thanks, this is what I've just began to do as I don't have the patience to wait for MS to pull its finger out. Thank god for 8 threads :p



Check in the "Update History" for a new entry, most likely failed.

Only a couple of entries that have failed, and they are Defender and Definitions update from March/April.

Resetting my install now.

Just so people know, when you reset it asks if you wish to wipe just the OS drive or all drives. Pick whatever you want obviously. Just thought I would share as many have asked.

So did you just use the install.esd to IOS and boot off that instead, rather then waiting for dumb windows update?

If you are preloaded and want to instal now -

In the Preload folder in Sources directroy there is a file Install.esd copy this to a new folder.
Download esd decrypter - https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=e8e5cc039d51e3db&id=E8E5CC039D51E3DB!77869
install 7 zip to extract esd decrypter
Extract all the files and put it in the same folder as install.esd
Right click decrypt install as administrator
choose option 1
This will create the windows 10 iso, right click and mount it then run setup.

I did upgade and keep file and installed fine.

Reddit thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/...w_to_create_a_bootable_iso_from_the/?sort=new

I can't find the install.esd, My folder is around 4GB big, this right ?

Again, even if you're successful and begin to download the 3GB the likely hood when it tries to install it will fail and you're back to square one.

So far the successful installs are using the ESD Decrypt method.

found this:http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-win_upgrade/windows-10-update-failed/626e8e68-4d13-4d1b-ade4-beb59e4a14d7?auth=1

I manage to solve my problem.

Go to: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

Delete everything

Then run this command in start>cmd wuauclt.exe /updatenow

Nothing happens when I do that, other than 4 new files appearing in \SoftwareDistribution\Download.

Again, even if you're successful and being to download the 3GB the likely hood when it tries to install it will fail and you're back to square one.

Where do we get the .esd file from?
