as usual MS are incompetent. never ever get a correct answer for my problems here. my system is fresh and also healthy so i'm done with these noob guides. the only familiar solution is a manual update. i guess LeeTrampleasure did the same what i.
i just navigate here and downloaded the Update Assistant. click on the Update now button and get the tool. then start it. it will check the system and prepare it for the update. i did it on 2 machines and both works fine now. all up to date.
This forum is just us users trying to help other users. I have been sent in circles sometimes, and the advice I receive leads nowhere.
If you really get stuck you should contact the actual MS Answer Desk.
It may cost you but sometimes they will put you on the right track to help yourself with a link or some instructions.
This was in the message I received when I had to get help from them.
You can contact us anytime for real-time assistance at this number:
1-800-642-7676.
They did send me a link by email from a "Microsoft Customer Support" address to get me from Win 7 to Win 10. The free update to Win 10 ended Dec 31, 2017 but if you are in trouble and you have paid the licence for Windows 7 they
might help you with your Windows 10 Update.
I hope this helps someone if you are running in circles and you want to stop.
