    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.

    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.

    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.

    any suggestions how escape this ?
    do i have to create a .cfg file on the Windows Directory ?
