Possibly due to Linux partition
"I had the same problem, but instead of removing the Linux drive, I just changed the boot order in the bios so that the Windows one took priority. I was then able to update to Windows 10, and then afterwards, I switched the boot order back, and now life is good. It would seem that Windows just wants to be the default thing that boots on your machine when it upgrades." 

"Think the error was related to dual booting and not having the windows partition marked as the active partition in the partition table." 

Use wushowhide.diagcab to hide the update.

SOLUTION -

I found a fix for error 800703ED while dual-booting Windows and Linux via partitioning. : Windows10 - https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3frobs/i_found_a_fix_for_error_800703ed_while/


 * 1) Load up the partition editor by typing in "partition" into the start menu and clicking "Create and format hard disk partitions" If it prompts you for administrative access, allow it.
 * 2) Once the program has loaded right click on the partition in which windows 7/8.1 is installed on and select "Mark Partition as Active" and hit yes to the pop up box.
 * 3) Go into Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update and click "Try Again" or "Check for Updates" depending on what is showing.
 * 4) If it still fails, try to start it manually by running cmd as administrator and entering the command: "wuauclt.exe /updatenow" and it should start the update.

this worked for me

Clean Boot
How to perform a clean boot in Windows - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135

msconfig -> services -> hide all microsoft -> disable all others

task manager -> startup -> disable all

SOLUTION
1. regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows NT / CurrentVersion / ProfileList

2. Back up the registry key

3. On the left, you should see a list of profile IDs, such as S-1-5-18, S-1-5-19, S-1-5-20, including several other names

4. Search for ProfilelmagePath. If any entry in the ProfileList has a ProfileImagePath that is not useful, right-click on the Profile ID and select Delete

Retry install - worked for me!!
