Yeah, I knew it was the permissions issues causing the forceupdate to not work. Newer versions of windows don't allow files to be modified in the program files and roaming folders as easily as before. I kept right clicking and running as administrator; but it seems it's sub-process can't be granted admin rights via the forceupdate app and the update fails. Glad it's helping you guys migrate over. Windows 10 from a non-upgrade clean install has proven to work pretty well so far.

This is working! I had this problem on a Win8 laptop and it solved the problem. Thanks for posting!
