Windows 1607 won't update (with update)

A thread in MS Community here is mentioning this topic.
There is a Windows Update Assistant available, explained more in MS Comm site here for you to download.
If you don't succeed, try this script to enable upgrade in 1607.
I'm still in progress trying.

Dec 17: Couldn't update still. Update keeps reverting to 1607. Resorting to downloading the installation media here. To get my Windows product key, avoiding third-party software out of sheer paranoia, found our here that I can just paste this script into my powershell:

(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey

This updating business IS annoying.

Dec 18: An article here at BynaryCodes show some options on the error in updating the 1607 version. Honestly the simplest way is a clean install, but no, that's not an option when your son's Minecraft save folders is in jeopardy. HowToGeek have a tip on creating a link to your cloud storage to keep the newest version of your saves on any computer.
