      When trying to setup Windows 10 (inline upgrade from Windows 8.1 with the Media Creation Tool x64), I get:

      Windows 10 Setup
      Something happened
      0x80070002 – 0x20016

      Can anyone help?

      My colleague has just told me that:

      …if you are doing an in-place upgrade with Win 7 SP1 you will need to change your locale and region to US otherwise you get a useful “something went wrong” error

      Unfortunately, I’ve already downloaded an ISO for Windows 10 from another PC, to get around the 0x80070002 – 0x20016 error.
