Windows 7 and 8.1 upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, Version 1511, 10586 via WSUS 3.2 on Windows 2008 R2

Question
-
Hi All,
I am getting this error on our 2008 R2 WSUS server trying to download "Windows 7 and 8.1 upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, Version 1511, 10586 - en-us, Volume" it downloads about 2.8 GB esd file but then removes it.
I could not find any info to confirm if that is even doable on WSUS 3.2 on Windows 2008 R2 or that s only possible on WSUS 4 (v 6 ) on Windows 2012 R2. Tried reinstalling WSUS to no avail. Still the same result.
Could you please advise.====EventId=364,Type=Error,Category=Synchronization,Message=Content file download failed. Reason: File cert verification failure.

=======
Your WSUS server should be on Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2. And you have to apply KB3095113 to it.
Also you have to configure IIS. Adding the .esd MIME type to IIS for the WSUS server as application/octet-stream allows the IIS server to serve the new update file type, and is pushed correctly to the client.

Hi VJ Gonzalez,
Yes, you found the answer, we need to use WSUS 2012 or 2012R2 with KB3095113.
In additional, here are related posts about serval issues we might meet when upgrading to Win10 via WSUS, if you have issues later, you may refer to them:
