Still no luck downloading WIN 10 upgrade to WIN 7.
Above code - 80240016 popped up. Maybe I should give up until MS resolves this bug.

I had to uncheck the Windows10 update, install all the remaining updates,restart, then install Windows10 update alone.  worked well for me.

as the install base of WIn 10 increases and more of the issues are discovered there are more and more resources available with help on how to resolve the main issues.
 
Microsoft themselves have this page on their support site devoted to this, which may be of use.
