Any problems with using the Windows 10 Update mechanism to use the Anniversary Edition?

[jimsold]

I just installed Fusion 8.5. Still on the latest El Capitan.

My Windows 10 VM was working OK. I allowed the Windows 10 updater to start the process to convert to Windows 10 anniversary edition.

Seemed to start the process OK -- took a lot of time. Went through a couple of reboots. Then when it appeared to nearing completion, I got another reboot and saw that my old version of Windows 10 was being reloaded. No error messages.

I guess I will try it again but was wondering what people who have allowed the update to take place experienced. Anyone get the full update to complete?

One wrinkle for me was that I had not yet updated VMware tools in this VM before allowing the update process to start. Don't know if this would matter.

Any advice or experiences with the update process would be appreciated.

I left the automatic update option on in the Windows VM after the previous version of 10 was reverted, and after I updated VMware tools in the Windows 10 VM (I rebooted just after this). I left the VM running and lo and behold when I went to check it, the Anniversary update had completed in the background.

So I guess I can say that there might be a problem but trying again might resolve it.

I downloaded the ISO and upgraded from that.  Much faster than the windows update update, and worked just fine.
