If you can get the ISO, extract to a folder( create one on the root of drive) and run the Setup.exe. DONOT BOOT FROM IT. Sometimes WU has trouble reading your installation. You don't have to extract it, just open ISO with Explorer and click on setup.exe.

By combining our results for this process, we learned something. Linux, WinXP direct link download x64 == file too big for single layer DVD, contains *11* OS SKUs on one disc MediaCreationTool method x64 == file is 1GB smaller and fits on a single-layer 4.7GB DVD. Contains *7* OS SKUs on one disc I would never have learned this, except someone reported the size of what they got. And the two methods give *different* media. You can do either method... if you keep dual-layer DVDs in the house. I don't - because the government collects a "starving artist" tax on the dual-layer ones. The MediaCreationTool one, is the one I burned to DVD. Paul |

Problem I avoided was with 1803 the MediaCreationTool kept screwing up the ISO and after multiple times requiring multiple times downloading the same data on a painful DLS connection only to have the setup fail 1+hour into install to go boom, MS support had me do download the above way and finally got 1803 to install. -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com |

I have done a lot of updates but one older machine would not go beyond 1803 Bought new in 2015 I had a problem getting to 1903, but I think the problem was MS had declared the hardware too old. Then I read MS was going to update older machines, and I was patient. One day, a group of new updates offered. Installed all the updates, and then 1903 was offered as an update. But the update failed. I did a manual check for new updates, and one of the original group of updates was offered again. I don't know why. Again I installed the update, and this time 1903 installed. So, I'll ask, have you done a manual check for available updates other than 1903?

Hey but it's a good idea to have people like you on this planet to keep our IT industry thriving. Chinese are doing a good business making new hardware for people like you. I hope you paid somebody to take away your old machine because we don't want it to go to some land-fill site. We have enough garbage already and now it's affecting sharks in our seas and oceans, assuming there is a difference between the two!!!. -- With over 999 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |
