RV_ Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Every time Microsoft rolls out the annual updates in April and October it breaks some computers. Ed Bott a senior tech writer for ZDNet on Windows topics, and one I admire and trust, has step by step instructions on how to do what I just did following the instructions in his article. I just set my Windows 10 Pro on all my machines to delay major updates for 90 days. He also shows you how to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro if you have not already in one of the links in the article. Excerpt: " Each time Microsoft rolls out a major upgrade to Windows 10, you have the option to wait a few months before you install it on PCs running Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise. But you have to act quickly. Sometime this month, Microsoft will finalize its next big feature update. If the company follows its longstanding practice, Windows Update servers will begin delivering the Windows 10 version 1903 update in April, to current installations of Windows 10 that have been running for at least 30 days. Next for Windows 10: What to expect from the April 2019 Update This is the latest feature update in Microsoft's new twice-a-year release cadence, and you should view it with the skepticism any initial public release of a new Windows version deserves. In a business setting, that typically means delaying the upgrade for a few months while you deploy the new release on a smaller number of test devices. This deferral process is available only on PCs running business and education editions, such as Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise, and Windows 10 Education. Windows 10 Home does not offer any deferral options. (On a PC running Windows 10 Home, you might be able to upgrade at no cost. See "How to upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Pro for free" for details.)"

k4rs Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) As a side note, Microsoft just certified version 1809 for general release. With the short life cycle these versions get, they are almost end of life by the time most of the bugs are worked out. https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-officially-designates-windows-10-1809-as-ready-for-broad-deployment/ Safe Travels...

Tom_M Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 I updated my LG Gram notebook with i7 processor to 1903 on May 22 without a hitch. So far so good. It's always best to do a fresh install, but don't know if I could find all the drivers I needed, so I did a reset which put my PC back to factory fresh condition. Uninstalled all the unneeded crap and did an upgrade.

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 I have updated my four PCs three days ago and six at the store I look after yesterday without and real problems. Locally, I made a USB Update drive. There was an issue with PCs with other attached drives which was easily solved by copying the contents of the USB drive to local disk and running the update from there. At the store, I created an .iso image file and moved it around the PCs for the update.

RV_ Posted June 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) I too updated all my six systems in late April and May and had no issues, not even with the 2GB RAM/64GB storage 32 bit Venue 11 Pro tablet and Voyo Mini PC. I'm in my old house to sell it so have only one Surface Pro with me here and I left my local Internet service up. But those systems were updated before the move too with nary a problem.
