Windows not updating to latest versions

Ivan M.

Hello, I reinstalled Window 10 Pro on my computer after doing some upgrades. This Windows install I did was pirated and has always worked fine after installing it on many other systems until now. I installed it this time and everything seemed to be normal about Windows except that it wouldn't update to newer versions of Windows like it always did. Even after clicking the "Check for updates" button for a few days now it will not find any of the newer versions of Windows making it stay at Windows version 1511. So my question is, what is causing this issue? Also, is there any other way to update to the newer versions of Windows other than clicking on the "Check for updates" button?

why would you pirate windows 10? you can get an official copy for free. and there are.... ways... to remove the watermark if you just dont activate it. you could also just buy an OEM key which is like $20usd

I test out different hardware sometimes on this computer which resets the activation, buying the OEM keys would be useless and a waste of money in my situation.

Windows 10 1511 has already reached end of life. You'll need to do a fresh install at this point. But considering you're using a cracked copy of Windows, you're SOL. Man that Cortana prompt brings me back.

And since this would fall under circumventing anti-piracy measures and cracking, this is as far as we can go here.
