Answer 1

I also had the exact same issue with installation. The update was failed for about 10 times but today at around 19-00 hrs I tried to manually download it and it got installed correctly.

Maybe the Microsoft must have only just corrected their error and made a new file available.Hope this helps you.

You must first ensure that your model number of the device is on a manufacturer's list(s) of products that has the support upgrade to Windows 10 and other subsequent updates.The described behavior simply suggests that your device is at the end of its supportable lifetime. The Microsoft Lifecycle Policy is completely explained at below link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle

I also had the same problem recently.  When your update starts to download the PC gets automatically disconnected from the network and a LAN network adaptor is automatically disabled.  So to fix this issue I had to switch off my automatic updates in my registry to prevent the disconnection from my network and the internet.

Hope this solves your issue.
