Cannot upgrade to a newer build. Help please


Recommended Posts

Hi, I need help with upgrading my win 10 to a newer build. I am still running the 9879 build of Win 10. Now I've gotten the message, that it has expired and it will keep restarting and later stop booting. Unfortunately, I cannot upgrade to any newer build and never could. I have tried several times to check for new builds, even before it has expired and it always tells me there are no new builds to install and I'm supposed to check later. Now we know that is bull***t so I would like to know what to do to upgrade to latest build without having to download it as an ISO and reinstall. I'm testing this as a main OS (yes, I know the risks) and this is getting frustrating. Apparently, it just doesn't see the new builds at all...

And what ring are you on for updates fast or slow?  Change it to slow and do a check for updates.. Then once your updated there you can move it back to fast and you should get latest update.

I have a way to fix this. But unfortunately we'll need the help of someone with a computer with Windows 10 that updates properly.

 

I had this problem and I fixed it this way.

2- Compare it with your own. Match it with your own.

 

Mine didn't update either until I matched it with the keys I set on a VM. Then I only went to Windows update and it worked perfectly.

 

EDIT: Once you set this make sure you're still on the fast ring.

Unfortunately it does not work either way. Tried slow and fast but nothing still. It seems my windows update thinks there are no new builds to install.

I was on an old build, changed it to slow.. Made sure it did a full update and then after all the updates there was new build.  Got that build, then moved to fast and then it saw the 49 build.. 

 

Just reinstall clean from iso to be honest, this is alpha/test/preview type stuff that you would expect anything to work as it will in a finished product is wishing on a star..  Using this as your primary OS is just asking for problems!

 

Why anyone would spend more than 5 minutes troubleshooting is waste of time..  I sure and the hell wold not of started looking in reg keys if my slow fast thing had not worked.. To be honest it wold of been must faster to just download current iso -- took freaking forever to update ;)

Oh hell yeah, great many thanks to you man. I did what you said, had to add the "Ring" string and change the "BranchName" from "awesome1501" to "impressive" and suddenly it found a new build and is downloading it right now. Not sure, whether adding the Ring string was necessary, as nothing changed after just that, but after changing the BranchName it found the new one immediately. 

Again, thanks a lot. I'll leave this open untill it installs the new build and if everything will work out, I'll close the topic.

That's exactly why I'm testing it. I'm testing how stable it is by using it as primary OS for all the usual stuff. I'm not using this for it to be easy, but to find out how well it works, or whether it works at all :)
