How to fix update isn't applicable to your device error in Windows 10

When you're attempting to update your Windows installation to the latest version you may come across this error if you're trying to install the software remotely from bootable media, such as a USB drive.

This will usually happen if the current version of Windows that you're running hasn't been fully updated yet. To make sure that you're running the latest possible version of Windows for your machine you'll have to check for any Windows Updates and download any that are available. This should happen automatically but we'll show you how to get there manually too.


  1. Head down to your search bar at the bottom left of your screen, and type in 'Windows Update'.
  2. Select the top search result, and a window will appear.
  3. At the top of this window, there will be a 'Check for Updates' button.
  4. Click this button and Windows will manually check if there are any updates available for your machine.
  5. If there are updates ready to be downloaded or installed, complete this process by following the  instructions on your screen.

Diskless workstations can reduce the overall cost of a LAN because one large-capacity disk drive is usually less expensive than several low-capacity drives. In addition, diskless workstations can simplify backups and security because all files are in one place -- on the file server. Also, accessing data from a large remote file server is often faster than accessing data from a small local storage device. One disadvantage of diskless workstations, however, is that they are useless if the network fails. Advantages of Diskless Setup Significantly reduce initial capital and implementation co

The sales will come at the expense of Apple’s iPod Touch, according to reports today. Sales will begin moderately. The anticipated spike in sales will occur after “the arrival of a catalyst,” but the report did not specify what that incentive would be. The iTunes store worked before, and it may work again. That is evidenced by reports of interactive textbooks headed to the iPad. The iPad also could appeal to people who have light computing requirements such as seniors . In comparison, the iPhone was much more mass market. Over 1 million iPhones were sold within 71 days of its introduction, and sold over 8 million units last quarter. The iPhone has contributed remarkably to Apple’s revenues–without massively cannibalizing the sales of iPods. The iPad could be viewed as a substitute for the iPod Touch. The thing to keep in mind is that this is o
