I have the option as to whether to install 1903.
Having read several negative comments, should I install now or wait for a while?

1903 is stable -
the naysayers have something to say about all Win10 builds, hell, every Windows released really.
the only issue I had, which has now been fixed, was the first ISO image MS made for 1903 would not install off a USB stick, had to copy the files to the drive and run from there.Comment

1903 is ok, the version that got a bad rap was 1809. I gotta say 1903 is quite impressive, the best yet. Just backup first before updating , and if you run system cleanup after the update youll clear over 20gb of junk.Comment

I have updated multiple Windows 10 1803 machines with update issues to 1903 successfully WITHOUT losing data by using this method, which should also repair whatever is wrong with your current update problem.
You will make a system image first though, wont you?

Hi Gus,
Hope all is well your end.
Couple of questions:
(1) Where do I download the Media Creation Tool/Download Tool? (Not exactly sure what itβs called)
(2) Is it good for Windows 10 Home?
BTW, Current version is 1809 (OS Build 17763.615Comment

Gus,
Forgot to say System Image done.Comment

Gus,
Also forgot to mention that I created the system image to my spare internal sata hard drive (G)
Is this OK or have I done wrong?
Should it have been to an external hard drive? (Which I havenβt got by the way.Comment

Seeing you donβt have an external drive I guess itβs all you can do. Ideally you should have a copy away from your PC, so perhaps consider getting an external drive, that way you could alternate between backing up to the internal and external drive. If you have a fire or your PC gets nicked you will have a copy to restore files from on another pc.
Sorry Roger, the link was on the youtube page but not the video. Here tis, and yes itβs good for 10 home
Download Windows 10Comment

Gus,
All done and everything seems to be working OK.
Winver now shows as - 1903 (OS Build 18362.239)
Initially had a problem with Classic Start whereas Windows startup was taking priority, which meant that everytime I shut down and restarted Windows Startup was in use.
I uninstalled/reinstalled Classic Start and all is now fine.
Any chance of an idiotβs guide as to installing system image from SATA HDD should I ever need to?
Is it worth keeping the Download Tool for future use or does it change?Comment

Doesnβt matter, just do a google search for download windows 10, making sure you only deal with the microsoft site. I would delete the tool.Originally posted by roger hawke
I take it you mean βrestoreβ an image file?Originally posted by roger hawke
2 questions
What backup software do you use?
for this scenario is Windows still working or has some other disaster meant there is no current working OS?
BTW isnβt classic start a Windows 8 application?Comment

Gus,
Classic Start works fine with 10.(Donβt know about Win 8 application). Is there a better option?
I downloaded it from here http://classic-start.findmysoft.com/
Did system image from within Windows and it is on my spare HDD.
Donβt know how to restore if I needed to.
Perhaps I need to start over again!!!Comment
