It looks like you skipped a couple of upgrades on your machine, Windows latest upgrade is Ver. Do you have enough space on your hard drive, you should have at least 16 GB? What are you using for Virus Protection, sometimes that will stop an upgrade?
Edit: Make sure you have the AC adapter plugged in and a good charge on the battery before you do the upgrade. I haven't skipped any versions on any of my machines, but when I do an upgrade, I always run Lenovo Vantage and install any critical or recommended updates before the Windows upgrade and I run Vantage afterwards to see if anything shows up.

A good read on this is Liam Tung's piece, Windows update problems: Microsoft reveals why recent patches broke some PCs. Even though it talks about some Windows 7 update issues, the underlying principle is the same. Microsoft actually ships Windows 10 with a Windows Update troubleshooting tool. I find the easiest way to reach it is simply type "troubleshoot" in the search box. Because I'm working on an older revision of Windows 10, the screen above is shown.
This will bring up the full Troubleshooting panel. You'll want to select "Fix problems with Windows Update. I didn't feel I needed to use Advanced options, so I just hit Next. That said, Ed recommends taking the extra minute and using Advanced Options.
He says, "That runs the troubleshooter as an admin and allows it to fix a wider range of problems. Of course, it's never a good idea to simply take Windows' word for anything like this, so I went back into Windows Update and ran it again. After a few hours, I had my result. The update that previously failed had completed properly and my system was fully up to date. Here's an interesting trick that's a big counter-intuitive.
Assuming you're at a relatively recent version of Windows 10, you'll see this screen:. Slide the Pause Updates switch on. Restart your machine. Then, once the machine is booted up fully, go back to that screen and slide the Pause Updates switch back to Off. If you tell Windows to pause updates, you'll clear all of the downloaded updates.
Go ahead and try Windows Update again. Hopefully it will work.
