Have you tried Using SFC (System File Checker) and DISM (Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management) to Repair Windows 8 & 10 before trying to do the update?

I am not at all certain this will help, but you may get some further data.

My guess is that you're going to have to resort to doing a completely clean reinstall of Windows 10:

a) Completely Clean Win10 (Re)install Using MCT to Download Win10 ISO File

b) Completely Clean Win10 (Re)install Using MCT to Create a Bootable USB Drive

You're quite welcome.

I can't imagine how an SSD would have been MBR format in the first place (unless it had previously been used in an old machine to extend its life). Anything that's been placed new in a machine since Windows 8 should be GPT to begin with (or if purchased uninitialized should have been initialized to GPT).

Glad to hear it's now sorted.
