So, I have a Windows 10 installation that has all kinds of issues.

It's running Windows 10 Enterprise, 10.0.17134.1130 (x64)

I'm trying to restore this with DISM, using another installation of windows 10 as the source image, however, I'm having trouble getting this new installation to the correct version.

Currently, it is on: 10.0.10240, but when I try to run the MSU file windows10.0-kb4525237-x64_dc82c2b90ed23d496f5f17acbb1dc5698634ac80.msu I get a prompt saying this update isn't supported on my computer ...

Running windows update will put me on an update that is way too high for me to be able to run DISM.

Any ideas?

[Edit]

Rephrase ..

I have a windows 10 installation that is corrupt. This installation is windows 10 Enterprise, 10.0.17134.1130. This installation was once upon a time created using this ISO: SW_DVD5_WIN_ENT_10_64BIT_English_MLF_X20-26061.ISO

I now have a second installation of Windows 10 Enterprise, using the same ISO. However, before I run windows update, the build is 10.0.10240.

I need to get this second installation up to a version that matches my corrupt installation, in order to run DISM. However, whenever I run Windows Updates, it puts me at a build higher than desired.

You obviously cannot use a Windows 10 version 1507 installation to repair a Windows 10 version 1803 installation. This means you must manually update Windows 10 version 1507 to Windows 10 version 1803.

This is due to the fact that Windows 10 version 1803 is currently is not supported. The reason you are being offered Windows 10 version 1903 is due to the fact that it is the currently supported version of Windows 10. This means you must download a Windows 10 version 1803 ISO and manually update the Windows 10 version 1507 installation.

You can use this tool to download the Windows 10 Enterprise version 1803 ISO. If you do not trust the tool then you can download the required ISO from the Licensing Service Center.

However, you might run into issues, trying to upgrade 1507 directly to 1803. If that happens you will have to incrementally upgrade to each version. If you run into problems, you will want to avoid allowing the installation environment (from within Windows) to download updates since that will not give you the end result you want. I actually documented that entire process, and the problems I ran into, in a previous answer to a different question.

You could avoid the issues trying to upgrade the second installation by simply installing Windows 10 version 1803 on the system using the ISO you download. You can also use that same ISO, on the problem machine, and use it to repair the installation.

KB4525237 can only be installed on Windows 10 version 1803.
