Issues Updating from 1703 to 1709

We understand that the built-in wireless network card of your computer is not working. It is possible that the new wireless network card that you've installed on the computer is having a conflict with the other components. This is the reason why we're recommending you to use the built-in wireless network card. This is for us to verify is you'll be able to install the version 1709 update. If the built-in wireless network card is not working, you can temporarily connect to the Internet using a wired connection so that the computer can download the update.

Kindly let us know if you're able to install the update while the third party wireless network card is removed and while connected to the Internet using a wired connection.

Hi Ao.

         As previously explained the ORIGINAL WiFi Card became FAULTY.  I therefore replaced it with a better performance card, which you pointed out did not have specific Win 10 drivers.  I therefore changed the card to an *Intel N7260 (was originally incorrectly shown as N7360)*for which I installed the latest Win 10 drivers from Intel.  That card was used to download the Update, an update which the Windows 10 Normal Update System started almost immediately after my changing the card.  This update included with others was already being **downloaded and I had no way to pause, abort or otherwise delay while I still checking the drivers for Intel Storage Controller and the Sound Card.  

**Last night there was long period of problems with my ISP and the BACKGOUND UPDATE STOLE MY TOTAL BANDWIDTH.  It also made it impossible fro me to run the Report Software used by my ISP, which will only work properly without any other LAN traffic regardless of source.  While writing this I find yet another bloody update has been download and wants a Restart. -- this changed way of updates maybe OK for any 9 to 5 office environment or anyone who leaves their machine on during out of use hour, but I hope for my great- grandchildren to have a planet supporting human life.   I am retired and I use the laptop when I have time to play with my various interests between caring for bedbound wife and handling my own problems as severely disabled geriatric.  Earning money by working has not been possible since before Christmas due to a series of factors, the 1709 update among them.

I really hope you are not suggesting my Laptop failed the update because it does not have the ORIGINAL make and model of WiFi Card, which was a piece of junk even when new!   After a number of Dell PCs I can tell you I will not be buying Dell again as their normal consumer machine are lousy build quality.  It does not have the original mother board or keyboard either as both were replaced with the first couple of months.

We would like to clarify if you've tried updating Windows 10 to version 1709 while using the laptop's built-in wireless card. If not, we recommend that you do so for us to see if the update will be successful or not.

Please post back if you can install the update while using the laptop's built-in wireless network card.

Hi AO,

It failed, now 05.48 and i am going to bed.  Yet another waste of time despite your efforts.  Failed at same place as always regadless of new wireless card, checked all drivers and updated 1 by 2 weeks or .001 version.

Hi Ao,

     I will let you know the result but have not yet found time install 1709.  I still have some drivers to check as some of the Dell are different builds to those installed when I last updated.
