    Did this update fixed some of the UWP not working or crashing such as Forza Horizon 3/4? Because if it didn't, this update is another one of the bunch.

    You should really start your own post using Participate at the top of the forum.

    I'll direct you to the Media Creation Tool here http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 and you should use a USB flash drive (8GB min) and not a hard drive. The drive will be formatted during the creation process.

    Instructions are on the website.

    If you are having trouble then start your own thread by creating a new post.

    hi,

    I have windows 10  64 bit version 1607, on an MSI GL62M 7RD gaming laptop. I want to upgrade to a new version of windows 10, but my windows 10 simply refuses to install any updates, newer versions etc. Ive googled and tried every solution, including windows media creation tool, with offline installation Nothing. It configures the new updates (ive tried general updates and a whole windows 10 update), and then it just says it is undoing all the updates. 

    So ive decided just to do a complete reinstall of windows 10 to the newest available version that will run on my PC (intel core i5 7th gen), but im not sure how to do that from scratch. I have a USB hardrive - can i download the windows 10 to my usb hardrive and then install from there?

    Im not sure how to go about this

    please help...

    many thanks

    Paul uk
