Those of you who cannot upgrade to Windows 10 due to 80240020 error

I can only post this as a fix that worked for me and several others, which was originally taken from reddit. "What this error means is, your Windows 10 installation folder is unfinished and/or corrupted. Now, how do you fix that? 1. Go into "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and delete everything in that folder. 2. Now, run the command prompt as an administrator. Type in "wuauclt.exe /updatenow". 3. Go to your Control Panel > Windows Update and your Windows 10 should start re-downloading from scratch, hopefully without flaws this time. EDIT: For those who still have issues, several users reported that setting their time forward (to the First of August for example) and then doing the above steps again helped them resolve the issue." You can open up internet explorer and type in: "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" without the quotations and delete everything in that folder. Then after you do that, you can do a search in Windows 7 for CMD, or win 8 search for cmd, or Command prompt, which will bring you to a command line. There after you have deleted the folder you type in "wuauclt.exe "space bar" /updatenow" and hit enter without quotations and Windows 10 should start to install if the servers are not overburdened.
