If you are trying to install the November update, I suggest you to go to the Microsoft software download website and select Upgrade now to upgrade your PC to Windows 10 Version 1511 and check if the issue persists.

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows and we’ll be glad to assist you.

Tried all of the above exactly as directed without success. Now receiving error code 0x80096004 using Windows Update. Was unable to download update directly from Windows. Could not find "Upgrade now to upgrade your PC to Windows 10 version 1511." When attempting to use the troubleshooter now, it will not run and gives message "an error is preventing the troubleshooter from starting." I then click on view error details and it gives error code 0x80070057. Any additional thoughts?

Hello Dave,

Thank you for keeping us posted.

We appreciate the time and patience you have put in to resolve the issue. I would like to assist you with further information from here.

Please be informed that you can also deploy the Media Creation tool and perform the update. Follow the below steps.

1. Download the media creation tool from Microsoft: microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
2. Navigate to where you downloaded MediaCreationTool.exe and double-click it.
3. Once the installer has set up, you will be asked to either Upgrade this PC now or Create installation media for another PC. The default option is already upgrade so just hit Next. The app will download some files, process, check for updates and then check your PC. This process could take some time depending on your connection.
4. In the next page, choose Accept for the license terms.
5. Subsequent actions makes sure it is up to date so it will check again for the latest Operating System updates on Microsoft's servers.
6. Further on, the installer is going to Keep personal files and apps and install Windows 10.
   
   Note: To be clear, this is just updating your computer. Nothing is erased, and it looks exactly the same. Nothing is moved, your Start menu remains, etc. From this point on, the app will just install the files, and you will have to reboot your PC. The computer will go through the setup (black screen) and the 'out of the box' experience with those nice fade in screens with various colors.

Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further assistance, feel free to write to us and we would be happy to help you.

Thank You

I have been trying the above stem in Sayan post of November 27. My Windows 10 Setup seem to be stuch at getting Updates ... Checking for Updates at 11%, there seem to be no download going on and this program is running, but no progress for 2 hours. Hope MS can help with this November Update.

Thanks for the clear directions, but when attempting to install the tool, it went through the download process, but at the end, it says "There was a problem running this tool" and gave error code 0x8007005-0x90002. Any additional steps I can take? I currently have 15 updates waiting in cue in Windows update.

All of these fixes failed and was forced to re-install Windows 10 at the insistence of the techs at the Windows store in Atlanta. This brute force solution solved the problem, but it forced me to reinstall all of my software. Thankfully, all my data files remained intact and were able to be accessed without issue after reinstalling the software, but the process of reinstalling all my software was both a blessing and a curse. The blessing was that it forced me to update all software to the latest version and most of the programs work better and faster in Windows 10. The curse was the time it took to do all of the work - over 3 days worth - and the frustration at tricking some of the software to download with Windows 7 drivers. Windows 10 update automatically upgraded all necessary software and drivers later. Everything works as it should with the exception of Outlook 2010 which I am still working on. Hope to have that resolved this week. The end result was a LOT of work to make this upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, but I feel it was worth the effort.
