About to throw in the towel. I used to have a clue about this stuff, but my attention has been wandering and am no longer as fluent in this as I used to be. In any event, I have an older (approx 10 yrs) Gateway FX6800-01e that I have been managing to run Windows 10 on reasonably successfully until lately. Updating has not been successful, the attached shows what has been happening: I've been trying to piece together and work through some of the myriad suggestions / solutions I have seen on-line, to not avail. I have gotten to the point that I wonder if it is related to my hard drive / SSD setup and what I can do to resolve this. Disk 1 is a Samsung SSD, and all I can really say is that at some point this made sense to me? Not as much any more. If there is something that you see that I should focus on and address, I would appreciate it. Be gentle..... Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community.

I was able to turn off VT-d in my BIOS, and then my updates were able to complete. Hope this helps some other poor soul struggling with this. 0 comments No comments Seems odd replying to myself, but the magic tip was found and deployed successfully.

Anonymous 2019-11-11T18:01:58+00:00 I've tried the Media Creation Tool, but ultimately with no success. My bios/system does not seem to support USB booting, and I have not been successful in trying to have the system boot from the CD/DVD drive. The update process goes through to the point where the first reboot occurs, but then hangs. No spinning balls of progress, and I have left it there for extended periods of time in the hope that it might be working through something, but ultimately it is reboot until back to square one, or in my case, 1709. I may take another stab or two at it, maybe 6th time is the charm. 0 comments No comments I've tried the Media Creation Tool, but ultimately with no success.

A new computer was going to be my method of choice for throwing in the towel, but I thought I would submit my issue to the wisdom of the crowd before I gave up entirely. 0 comments No comments 1709, and I have a graphics card with the MB graphics chipset disabled.

Are you still on version 1703 or 1709? If so, I would suggest that due to the age of your system that is as high as you can go in relation to Windows 10 versions . . . I know this is not what you want to hear, but every new Windows 10 Feature update makes more legacy hardware obsolete and with a 10 year old system I would say, if you did manage to get 1809 or 1903 to install you would have a lot of Blue Screens caused by a chipset or video card device driver . . . 0 comments No comments Click your Start Button, type winver and hit Enter On the resulting dialog, what Version No. and build No. of Windows 10 are you running?
