- The first screen that pops up may state SmartScreen can't be reached right now. Choose Run
- A new screen will appear that says Getting a few things ready. This may take a few minutes but on the next screen Accept the license terms. Getting a few things ready will appear again.
- Choose Upgrade this PC now then select Next and let Windows complete the upgrade.
- If this does not resolve the issue, please follow steps 1-5 again. When you get to step 6 choose to create installation media instead of upgrading. You will need a USB flash drive and then follow the steps to create an installer on the USB drive. When complete, reboot and run Windows Upgrade from the USB drive.
