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." [1]
"Think the error was related to dual booting and not having the windows partition marked as the active partition in the partition table." [2]

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/
- 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.
- 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.
- Go into Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update and click "Try Again" or "Check for Updates" depending on what is showing.
- 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!!
