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](/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 OSArchitecture`
|
|
|
|
x64 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](genuine-installation-media.html).
|
|
- 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.
