Hi, I can't find the MSoft upgrades catalogue, to
select the above, and then to try and upgrage my old instance of Windows10 that has a corrupted upgrade feature. Is this called "catalogue" or something else? |

If you go to this page from a WinXP browser or from a Linux browser, you will be offered a 4.4GB ISO9660 file, suitable for making a DVD or loading onto a USB stick (with the appropriate tool). https://s31.postimg.cc/fnavsmq23/ISO...ux_browser.gif That's me preparing to download 1803 right now. I'm using Mint in a virtual machine. You could probably also generate a URL using Heidoc and the tool they've got, but that's overkill for something this easy :-) Paul |

The "Download tool now" button is the next button down on the same page. It says it will let you create a USB, DVD, or the ISO file of Windows 10 which you can use for a fresh install or an update. Make the version of your choice and use it on what ever Windows 10 PC you want to create or work on. |

Is this called "catalogue" or something else? Three choices available for upgrading to 1803. The Microsoft Catalog is not one of them, thus it's 'something else' 1. Run WU manually - check for updates 2. Use the Media Creation Tool and create 1803 media(USB/DVD) or save an ISO for mounting or creating media https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10 3. Use the Upgrade Now option on the same web site that provides the MCT. See the How To section(it covers the above steps) https://windowsunplugged.blog/2018/0...l-2018-update/ Fyi..if looking for an earlier version(not 1803, but 1709, 1703, 1607 etc.) you'll need to have previously created media for that version.

manual downloading of upgrade 1803
I downloaded a 1803 ISO and created a DVD which I could run from within
Windows to Upgrade. I was expecting the ISO to be bootable. Is it suppose to be bootable so I can determine if I something wrong when I created the DVD? -- Bill Brought to you from Anchorage, Alaska "...w¡ñ§±¤ñ" wrote in message news "Peter Jason" wrote in message ...

Is it suppose to be bootable so I can determine if I something wrong when I created the DVD? 1) You boot it, if doing a Clean install (AKA Nuke and pave). (It should boot in UEFI or legacy mode, and is effectively a hybrid disc. The way you boot, has an impact on the kind of Clean install done.) 2) You insert the DVD in a machine running the previous version of Windows 10, execute Setup.exe off the DVD, and that does an Upgrade install, keeping user data and PE32 programs. (This is what I did two hourz ago.) The Windows Store items are likely to be refreshed from the Store (whatever happens, they take care of themselves). In the case of (2), you don't even need to burn a DVD. You can "mount" the ISO9660 file as a virtual DVD drive. Right-click the file and see if a "mount" option in bold letters is present. Here's a few steps and details for (2). 1) Windows is a creature of habit, and like getting a double-double at 7AM in the morning, every morning, Windows likes: a) Windows Defender update - you can manually download this on a second machine, and bring it over to the (isolated) Win10 machine on a USB stick. Right-click the "mpam-fe.exe" file when over there, and select "Run as administrator". b) Adobe Flash update. If you've been using the machine recently, you likely have this already. c) KB890830 MRT.exe scanner. Arrives every patch Tuesday. d) Servicing Stack update. Usually before an OS Upgrade, there is some preparatory work for the Upgrade. The OS might indicate something is missing, or try and download that, if it is not present. It's a dependency. If these were done (somehow) in advance, it reduces the level of "distraction" for the process. 2) With digestive cookies eaten, the OS is now ready for the Upgrade. a) disable Windows Defender real time scan b) disable SuperFetch in services (tends to rail during disk activity). c) disable Windows Search Open the Search Indexer window and hit Pause. The Search Indexer window will "pop to the front" later, so leave it open :-) 3) Run "setup.exe" off the virtual DVD drive of the mounted ISO9660 file. The purple screen will cover the entire window, in an attempt to prevent you from interfering. At around 36%, the search service will "stop", and the opened Search Indexer will pop to the front of the purple Upgrade backdrop. In addition, now your Task Bar is exposed and you're back in control. The Upgrade started to slow down at this point. A check with Task Manager shows the system wasn't busy. It was going to be one of those days. I couldn't spot SetupHost at first. But, I opened Process Explorer (from Sysinternals) and I could see it. I got the PID number, went to Task Manager, sorted by PID, and by right-clicking, raised SetupHost to "Above Normal" priority. The Upgrade then went back on track again, and SetupHost started processing the files in preparation for the install. So I lost a little time, when losing track of what was going on at around 66% or so (on the purple screen). After the first phase is complete, the OS no longer needs the DVD image, and since all the files were copied in the steps above, it's ready to do the actual install. These were my timings: (Full backup of C: completes, time for install) Start: 5:01 PM Bumped SetupHost priority somewhere in here when progress seemed to stall. Task bar visible, all tools available. Copy Phase Complete, reboot: 5:15PM (end of "purple screen" phase) (several reboots) Screen says "Hi"... 5:23PM Desktop appears... 5:25PM You can turn on "Windows Defender real time" at this point. Superfetch, Search Indexer, have already enabled themselves. Paul |
