Windows 10 creators update error 0x8007001f

I am having issues updating my HP Elite 8300.  I have Windows 10 Pro 64 working on this machine, and had no issues upgrading to it.  However I am trying to update to Creator's Upgrade, and keep getting the error message "unable to update - - error 0x8007001f.   I have read through multiple posts, and tried almost everything suggested.  Here's what I have tried - 

1.  Used upgrade assistant to update PC.  It gets to around 80%, then shuts down, stating the installation cannot continue, citing error code 0x8007001f

2.  Downloaded the ISO, and tried to install it there - I get the message "unable to determine if there is enough disk space to install Windows 10"

3.  Downloaded it onto a flash drive - same results

4.  Enabled the Administrator account, and tried these again - same results.

Now I know my unit is compatible as I have 3 of these towers that are virtually identical.  They all have the same processor, hard drive, and, although they have different video cards, both the cards are Windows 10 compatible.   The other 2 updated to creator's update with no issues (heck, I just got hru updating a Dell laptop and a Lenovo ThinkPad to creator's update with no issues at all).   I can't figure out why this is being so obtuse.  I ensured that I installed the latest software from Windows, Intel, and HP before attempting to do the upgrade, too (I didn't have to do that on the others?)

Almost all of the posts I have read have either not found an answer, or have found an answer that I have tried with no success.

With the help of some HP techs, I was able to solve the problem - however I don't know if this will work for anyone - 

I had to update the BIOS to the latest version - this required me to download and install a "forced update" BIOS upgrade for my PC, as it wouldn't do a "manual" or "automatic" bios upgrade without showing errors.

Once that was done, I did a clean install of Windows 7, then went straight into an "update" to Windows 10 Creator's upgrade - Lo & Behold it worked - it is now running creator's upgrade with no issues - but I did have to do a clean install.
