    You could stop the windows update services in "start" > "run" > "services.msc" and delete the whole c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder, start the service and the folder will be recreated, check wu again.

    The only updates required for W10 upgrade are SP1 and IE11. Once you have both of these then you can run the installation from the Microsoft site.
