    Hi Stachu

    Are you using a 3rd party anti-virus that could be blocking that file?

    Okay Stachu, try this alternative method

    Please Note, follow the steps, this is then just an update and your files and applications will remain untouched . . .

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), then choose ISO, not USB

    When the ISO file completes downloading

    Disconnect from the Internet

    Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

    Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe to begin the upgrade . . .
