Windows 10 May 2020 update is now available

For Info:

After a few (lot of) tries on Hyper-V machine (copy of my desktop windows 10 1909 x64 pro).

I use the iso file from MediaCreationTool2004 for eatch of my tries.

Finally I made the installation working doing:

1. Clean the root disk (c) "c: property\clean\clean system Files"
2. Clean all restauration point et disable system protection
3. Clean all Microsoft event logs (just to make it easier to read)
4. Make sure to have 30 Gbytes of free disk place
5. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 8 GBytes of memory available

And finally the installation occurs. 

Need a few hours, it's very very slow. Amazing how Microsoft is regressing! I think developpers should have a Intel-I5 with 8 Gbytes maximum, so they'll understand about speed, but they certainly have a Intel-I9 or a vitual machine very very fast!)

At the end of installation, last (?) reboot and..., a black screen for quite a while.

A while, that is quite a long time since the corona containment but now, thanks to microsoft, I have now much more plenty of time to do home work, clean the house, the car, .....

After this "a while", about 2 hours,  I watch at the monitor, may be I don't have to watch TV to have something else than a black screen!?

No luck!

"So I decide to force reboot".

And,... Black screen.

BUT after about 10 min something appears and I can connect through RDP to the virtual machine !!!!

Now at least I have the welcome screen.

Obviously, there are a lot of programmers to welcome because it tooks about 15 min!

And now it's ok..., or not!

Winver tells me I am still at version 1909!!!!

****!

I decide to restart the whole thing during the night, may be it happends some secrets I am not allowed to see!

Indeed, It worked, the version is now windows 10 2004 ! ("force a reboot" was obviously not a good idea)

So,résumé:

I use the iso file from MediaCreationTool2004

1. Clean the root disk (c) "c: property\clean\clean system Files"
2. Clean all restauration point et disable system protection
3. Clean all Microsoft event logs (just to make it easier to read later)
4. Make sure to have at least 30 Gbytes of free disk place
5. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 8 GBytes of memory available (I tried on a windows 10 pro), I have tried with 6 Gbytes and I just received "update failed" nothing more nothing less.
6. Wait, wait ,...... 

Cortana not working (fr-fr).

Hi John, that's excellent, what version were you previously running and was it completely up to date ? ie no issues with previous cumulative updates?

Thanks Paul

After reboot twice, i open Command Prompt with run as administrator, then run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair all possible Windows system file, follow by sfc /scannow

After that I reboot my HP Elite X2 G4. Now it seems everything is back to normal.

This is to confirm thT HP Elite X2 G4 can be updated to May 2020 version without serius problem

Hope this information help
