In-place Repair Upgrade
(Keeping files and apps)
In-place repair upgrade using Windows ISO file is a good way to fix system errors. Here's how you can perform it.
Steps
- Download the Windows ISO, preferably from MSDL in the same Windows language, and architecture.
-
To check the installed Windows architecture, open Powershell as admin and enter,
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem | Format-List OSArchitecturex64 means 64 Bit, x86 means 32 Bit
-
To check the installed Windows Language, open Powershell as admin and enter,
dism /english /online /get-intl | find /i "Default system UI language" -
Note: If you are running the Enterprise LTSC edition, you will need to download that edition's ISO file from here.
-
- Double-click on the ISO file once it is downloaded.
- If it opens in another program like 7-Zip, close it, right-click on the ISO, Open With > Windows Explorer
- A new DVD drive will appear in Windows Explorer, which means the installation image has been mounted successfully.
- Go into that DVD drive and run setup.exe, just continue until you reach the final confirmation screen.
- Make sure it says "Keep all files and apps" on the final screen. Then you can continue the process and wait until it is done.
