[TUTO] Push Windows 7/8/8.1 to download hidden folder $Windows.~BT

Works fine if you have the $Windows.~BT folder otherwise just use the Windows 10 download tool thing.

 

Good for you dude.

 

Upgrade using WindowsUpdate or using ISO is same ?

 

using the iso would work even it said VGA is not compatible on VMWARE ?

 

What version of VMware are you using?

 

esxi 6.0 with the latest updates and using VM hardware 11

thank you

 

i have one Windows 7 Pro trying the update using the powershell nothing really happens.
i've checked on the C:\$Windows.~BT i see the folder has downloaded the files and are there already.
size 2.83GB

how can i force it to install ?

 

How long have you been waiting since the folder is created ? other way is to upgrade directly from dvd/usb iso.

 

i've created a USB bootable however when i tried to update using the usb it asks for the key.
Note , i did not boot but run the setup directly.

 

you can't skip it ? weird, most of people have already done this way

 

i've upgraded so far 5 computers online, none with usb.
yes its weird i don't see skip button.
the iso i am using is the dutch one multiple edition Pro/Home ISO 64 bit

I think the problem is due to the fact you already have the C:\$Windows.~BT folder so the machine is waiting to upgrade via the net and you're trying an installation with the USB key

 

Update fails with error code 80240020, then you might try:

Locate the registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade]

It should exist, but if not, create it.

Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value with Name = "AllowOSUpgrade" (without the quotes), and set the Value = 0x00000001.

 

yep, this does the magic

 

is this if you have the C:\$Windows.~BT folder ?

 

Yes, with C:\$Windows.~BT folder but keep failing Windows 10 update with error code 80240020.

 

Works also for error code C1900208.

Tried to update one Machine with Win 8.1 Pro to Win 10 Pro using the ISO.
however when i run the setup after a while it shows up error, the key doesn't match the installed key.

do i have to create a .cfg file on the Windows Directory ?
