Download media creation tool and run it. It ask you what you want to do select "Upgrade this PC now" option and it'll update your current installation to latest version (which should be build 1909).

Really starting to seem incompetent, but I just reinstalled Windows 10 on an old machine off of my nearly 4-year old installation DVD, as we don't have any USB sticks at hand(apparently), and I was just trying to update to the newest version of Windows after Lightroom told me the currently installed one was too old. Only problem now, it won't let me update, instead it tells me where is a problem with the error code 0x80240fff. Already tried running windows' own troubleshooting thingy and restarting a couple of times, but nothing's changed as of yet. Any input on the matter would be more than welcome... 
Thanks in advance! :)

Earliest W10 build supported by consumers is 1803. If you have something earlier than that, I recommend you to download the latest ISO and install it from ISO. (IIRC, you shouldnt need USB drive or any other external media when selecting upgrade option)

Build 10240 is Windows 10 version 1507, which is very old (as 15/07 suggests from 2015/July).

Remember to either quote or @mention others, so they are notified of your reply
