User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.3.3 If you'd paid attention to the technical content in this group, you'd know what to do. I'd take you more seriously, if you were focused on the topic at hand. ******* 471 is at the top of the 1803 list, on the left. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...date-kb4471324 If you want 1809, download the DVD. The DVD should be the new version. Google "download Windows 10" *from the PC that needs it* and use the MediaCreationTool. The MediaCreationTool stands the best chance of doing a correct download. Have a blank DVD handy, for usage with the tool. The DVD you make is *for emergencies*. Once the download is complete, there should be an ISO9660 file. In File Manager, right click the Windows10.iso or whatever it's called this week. An option at the top of the list will be "Mount", which will mount the ISO as a virtual DVD drive. (Doing the install from a virtual DVD drive, gives much faster read access!) Now, check My Computer for the drive letter. You should see a drive letter for your (empty) physical DVD drive, and a drive letter for your new virtual DVD drive. Click the virtual DVD drive and run "setup.exe" on that DVD. The 1809 upgrade will kick off. Before upgrading, do a full backup of the disk drive. If you have multiple disk drives, you can also disconnect the drives not associated with the installation. But that's a "belt and suspenders" safety approach. Use your own discretion in this matter. Disconnecting the excess drives, is easier than backing up all the drives. When you disconnect a drive, disconnect both power and data, and do that while the machine is shut down. Disconnect data first, then power ("belt and suspenders"). The cables are designed to be order independent, but my order of doing things assumes the connectors are damaged. There have been instances of SATA connectors burning, so there's no such thing as "too safe" with this stuff. There's always some kind of surprise waiting for you. Paul |

Interesting information, but I'll not do that, Paul. Now that I'm at home for the winter, my Apple iMac is my principal workhorse. I hope you can understand that. -- Kind regards, David B. |

Thanks, Ralph. :-) My copy Windows updated itself to Version 1809 (OS Build 17763.195) a day or two after I posted that. The trigger seemed to be that I clicked “check for updates” _twice_. The first time it said I was fully up to date; I clicked it again and it started downloading Version 1809. With regard to the thread ‘"Check for Updates" makes you a Beta tester "seeker"’ ... * Although it was not a ‘C’ or ‘D’ week when I clicked “check for updates”, maybe clicking twice meant that I became a beta tester “seeker” and that Version 1809 was still considered beta-ish. I have only noticed a couple of quirks with 1809 so far, nothing that is a real problem. i) If I start the computer then click the notification icon at the bottom right, the notification panel first opens at the left (where the start menu belongs), and then jumps over to the right (where the notification panel belongs). ii) If I start the computer and the task manager opens automatically, the task manager window opens smaller than it did in 1803. I need to enlarge the window to show everything. -- Kind regards Ralph |
