Since 15048, I can't upgrade to the latest insider fast ring. No changes to hardware / software, but it's a rather limited system: 2GB ram, old HP system, running 32-bit OS. Not sure what type of CPU.
Is there an upgrade log that I can read to determine the cause of the failure?

The log files are located under C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\panther.
The following log files are created when an upgrade fails, and the installation rollback is initiated:
C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.log C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.err
MS lists here all errors and possible fixes.
So open the C:\Windows\panther\setuperr.log to see what is failed and look in the list what the error means and how you can solve it.

Note: Late May 2017, the insider builds started to work again. I have no idea what the issue was in the end. – erict – 2017-06-13T14:55:34.713
ok, nice to hear that it worked now. Next time you know how to analyze the logs – magicandre1981 – 2017-06-13T15:25:57.723
