Clean PC from previous Windows installations

If you want to try another solution (non-official) then you can try to delete previous Windows Installation files. Here is how to perform this action:

In the search bar of your Windows version tap Command Prompt Right-click on Command Prompt and select ‘Run as Administrator’ and open it In command Prompt line, write the following command: rundll32.exe pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DRIVERS /MAXCLEAN  and press ‘Enter’ Close Command Prompt Open Search feature Type ‘Disk cleanup’ and open the Disk Cleanup utility Remove ‘Temporary files’ and ‘Previous Windows Installations’ Restart your PC and see if the error still occurs when trying to download Windows 10 Preview Build
