Windows – Cannot update from Windows 10 Build 10240

windows 10windows updatewindows-10-upgrade

My current version of Windows 10 is Build 10240 (x64).

About 2 weeks ago, I upgraded from Windows 7, I removed my "Previous Windows Installation", so my understanding is that I should now be able to upgrade to the latest version, (I should no longer have the 31 days limit).

when I do "check for update", (Update & Security), I get nothing at all. All I get is a message telling me that my system is up to date.

For fun, I downloaded the update for 1511, (KB3140768).

But if I try and install it, I get "The update is not applicable for your computer"

I could not find a standalone for build 10586, so maybe the jump to 1511 is too much?

My last update was KB3144756 and nothing since.

What could be preventing me from upgrading windows 10?
