  • Same problem here. Installed windows 10 and was able to sysprep fine. Create a new vm, installed windows 10, did update after update and suddenly I had a windows.old folder. cleaned up unnecessary files, deleted windows.old - try to sysprep and get Windows upgrade was detected. It's got to do with the updates. Need a fix. - smf 6 years ago

For some reason, one of the big updates for Windows 10, forces it to be considered an upgrade.  I don't know why.  It is recommended that you build your image from newer media that already has the update in it.

Is it an upgraded OS?  If so, then building an image from it is both unsupported and not recommended.  However, there is a reg workaround:
