Windows 10 Anniversary Update Won T Install Another Possible Fix

Since the Windows 10 Anniversary Update has been released to the public, some folks have been experiencing problems when attempting to upgrade. A particular issue we’ve seen several users complaining about, is the inability to manually upgrade when using the first edition Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga.

This happens when the user attempts to install the update from the Microsoft website. Whenever they check for compatibility, an error comes up saying the display is not compatible with Windows 10. This is happening despite the system being powered by the previous version of Windows 10.

User complaint:

We’ve come across a simple way to do things rather than visiting the Microsoft website. You see, one just needs to take advantage of using installation media. Just download the Media Creation tool from the Microsoft website right here. After running the tool, select the option that says, “Upgrade this PC now.”

I am trying to manually install the Windows 10 anniversary update from the Microsoft website. When checking for compatibility, the program says that my display is not compatible to run Windows 10. I have been using my Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga first edition since 2014 and it was built to run Windows 8. The update software says to check with my computer’s manufacturer to address any problems. I’m a little confused on how Windows 10 is not eligible/able to run the anniversary update when I have been using it with this display on Windows 10 since the new edition of Windows came out last year. Anytime having the same experience with other Lenovo products? I have attempted to update my computer before manually downloading the software and after showing that my device was compatible.

Another option is to download the ISO via the Media Creation Tool. Instead of clicking “Upgrade this PC now,” click on “Create installation media for another PC.” Click next, then uncheck “Use the recommended options for this PC.” Continue from there and you should be good to go. However, bear in mind, you’ll need a DVD drive to burn the ISO on before you can complete the installation.
