How do I install Windows 10 Preview? Keeps showing up in WU

[BoDEAN]

I've gone to think MS link, downloaded the 2827 MB file from Windows update. Got the pop-up saying preview, proceed with update. It configured the update, rebooted, and I'm still on windows 8.1

When I go back to windows update, I see it asking me to Upgrade to Windows 10 Technical Preview again, and install the 2927.7MB file.  I've done that 3 times to no avail.

Downloaded the iso, put it on a USB Thumb drive. Ran setup.exe.  Started to install, rebooted, and got a screen saying

 

We couldnt install Windows 10 Technical Preview  0X80073B92 - 0x20009

 

Guess it wasn't meant to be =(

even though this is for 8.1, I think the codes are standard across windows.

 

don't know if this will help but I've been reading from most search results the same issue and suggestions.

 

ok you are using a USB drive. try burning the .iso file to a DVD and try the old school method.

Burned the iso, ran from inside windows 8.1.  Setup completed, rebooted, got the error, back into windows 8.1

same issue and error. Weird.

How do I get rid of all these pending restarts since I can't get this to install correctly?

If you are currently using Windows 7 uninstall KB2990214 in the Installed Updates from the CP.

If you're using 8.1 uninstall KB3014460.

 

That will remove the WU TP install prompts. You may have to do a "Check for updates" scan to get rid of them completely.
