How to Perform a Repair In-Place Upgrade using Windows 10 ISO [2021 Tutorial]

Is your Windows 10 acting up? Is it demonstrating unusual behaviour, such as built-in apps crashing, settings not working or Bluetooth devices not pairing up with a PC? Well, you can use a Windows 10 ISO image file to perform a repair in-place upgrade.

WAIT, BUT WHAT IS THIS REPAIR UPGRADE?
A repair in-place upgrade is the process of installing Windows 10/11 over the existing installation using your installation DVD or ISO file. This method can repair broken, corrupt or missing operating system files, while preserving your personal files, settings and apps.

Before getting started, here is what you need to do:
✓ Confirm that your copy of Windows is properly activated. This is especially important if you recently reinstalled Windows.
✓ Check for any recent driver updates, especially for network and storage hardware.
✓ Download and install any available BIOS updates for your hardware; this step is especially important for systems that were originally sold in 2015 or earlier, before the release of Windows 10.
✓ Back up your data files to an external hard drive or cloud storage (or both). Consider doing a full system backup to an external hard drive using the Windows 7 backup program, which is also available in Windows 10/11. Just run the command Sdclt.exe, and then choose the ‘Create A System Image’ option.
✓ Temporarily uninstall third-party security software and low-level system utilities that can interfere with the upgrade. You can reinstall those programs after the upgrade is complete.

Finally, disconnect any unnecessary external devices, especially USB flash drives and external hard drives. (Several common installation errors can be traced to the Setup program, being confused by these additional drives.)
