Well... what is confusing me is the fact that this upgrade appeared in Windows Update. Is there an explanation for that?
"Up to date" even though I am running version 1507 (RTM build of Windows 10); how to get 1803 (Redstone 4)?

Well without any real help from anyone, I managed to get a legitimately genuine version of Windows 10 installed on my computer... but it is from a DVD so I am running the first released version of the operating system, and I am trying to update to the latest release. When I run Windows Update, I used to see "Feature Update to 1803" as an available update, but now I don't see it at all and I know for a fact that I am still running Threshold instead of Redstone.

2018-09-01T23:17:09+00:00 Hi MS. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP, here to help you.
Always create the latest bootable media from Media Creation Tool to do a Clean Install or you'll compromise it by doing an inferior Upgrade over it.
Follow the illustrated Clean Install steps in this tutorial which compiles the best possible install that will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...
If you want to keep what you have then What I'd do at this point is install Media Creation Tool from this link, choosing the button to Install Tool Now and then open the installed app and choose Upgrade This PC Now: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m...
This is the most stable way to change to the latest version (which you need anyway) and because it reinstalls WIndows while keeping your files and programs in place, fixes most problems. It also brings all Windows Updates to date.
If there are any hurdles during install then these steps can overcome them: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...
If these do not help then report back any verbatim error message or behavior.
If you want to temporarily block the update then try running the Hide Updates tool downloaded and installed from here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f2...
If it wont' find and hide the Update then you can set a Metered Connection to turn off Windows Updates for awhile until the version matures and you can try again using the method I suggest which always works best: https://www.howtogeek.com/224471/how-to-prevent...
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
