    I did the wuauclt.exe /updatenow but once windows 10 was downloaded and "getting ready for install" it came up with "failed" and this error:     "WindowsUpdate_80240020" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

    Any suggestions?  I am running Windows 7 and have all the windows updates up-to-date.

    This worked for me...

    1. Access this file location C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloadand delete everything there. (Note delete only content found there and not the Download folder itself)
    2. Open CMD (command prompt) with run as administrator (admin privileges) and run this command: wuauclt.exe /updatenow

    The Update Window should pop-up with downloading Windows 10 again, and if your lucky it will be the complete kit this time.
