When updating a Windows 7/8 machine to Windows 10, it may fail with a message box that says “Windows (10 or 11) has failed” with only an OK button. Here’s how to resolve this:
- Create an ISO with the Media Creation Tool.
- Extract the ISO into a folder (WinRAR will do this.)
- Right-click on Setup, Run as Administrator
- On the Install Windows 10 page, click on “Change on how Windows Setup downloads updates” link and select “Not Right Now”
- Proceed with the upgrade and it should complete successfully.
