Hi, I am trying to install the Creators Update on my computer, but it fails and has to recover every time I try. What system information should I post to help troubleshoot why the update continues to fail?

Thanks!

    @beerus_king: Did you ever get a workaround for your ASUS? I'm having the same issue with 1703/1709 build.

    There is a little thing to do.

    If you have not cleaned it out before doing a clean install or reset do this; copy the Download Folder in File Explorer to a USB or another drive on the disk.  Then use it to install the downloaded programs rather than wandering all over the Internet to download the programs again.

    You are welcome. I would add my own query, being specific about my computer model & OS build.

    Well, it isn't many clicks to free up unallocated space using Disk Management, & an install of Windows into it takes 24/so minutes to accomplish. Cortana speaks at minute 17 & asked only for my Wi-Fi password (written on the router) & my MSFT account password. It fetched all my Dell/Intel/Realtek drivers on its own. I was pleased enough that I booted into 1511 just once after that before wiping it.

    There is some prep...

    (a) Make a Windows system image backup.

    (b) Download a fit & proper v.1709 that matches your architecture (bits), Windows edition & language.

    (c) Maybe have some drivers on hand on a USB drive.
