Best to do a full back before installling a feature update.



Not to be confused with the smaller and more regular quality/cumulative updates which tend to be issued monthly and cover general maintenance.



Yeah this trouble has been going on since June, The Win 10 version was coming to the end of that 18 months timeline, It's got something to do with older Intel drivers but microsoft doesn't tell you witch ones


I've deleted all the old update files and started again from scratch, the updates take two two hours only for it to fail at the last minute.
My Win 7 desktop upgrade to Win 10 was the same, nothing but trouble and full of errors where programs wouldn't start, no audio and lots of dll errors!!!
I binned that too, the hard drive was wiped & is now in my CCTV recorder.


I'm not putting my bank/paypal details into any OS that's not supported.
