udpate_not_available

Solution

For those that have the same problem there is a solution: You need to open this link and click on “Get the anniversary Update now”:

anniversary_update

It will download a setup executable. Run it:

downloading_exe

And click on “Update Now”:

Important: For the upgrade you need at least 20 GB free disk space and Windows must be activated. Additionally I suggest to take a full backup (for example with True Image) or a Snapshot if it is virtualized.

update_windows

The download is staring now:

downloading_windows_10

After the installation (approximately 15-30 min depending on your pc) you will see this screen:

Windows_10_restart

From now it will take another 60-90 minutes to complete the installation (the pc will restart several times):

reboot_update

after_upgrade_screen

After the installation check if windows has been upgraded succesfully typing 

winver
in the search field of windows:

after_upgrade_winver

DONE! 🙂

Only for virtualized windows: for performance optimisation don’t forget to delete the snapshot after the upgrade.

New features

For all new features (version 1607) please refer to this link: What’s new Windows 10.
