Hey all!

The new version 2004 is up and ready to download. Theres two methods to install it.

Method one:

Setting > Update & Security > Windows Update (selected by default) > Check For Updates (all in lower caps)

P.S if you not able to find any updates It maybe your windows version (1909) is conlficting with your updates.  If this happens follow method two:

Method two:

Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 > click on update now to install (Windows 10 update assistant) > follow the instructions and wait for install to complete. (read P.S If you new to the Windows 10 Update Assistant software.)

P.S allow the software to download and install the new windows version one done a notification will pop on the desktop. Dont worry this is normal and the software will automatically restart your pc. 

DO NOT TURN OFF THE DESKTOP OR LAPTOP WHEN IT RESTARTS.

    Windows 10 version 2004 has been the worst updating experience ever! I spent close to two hours fighting reboot loops and hung Windows screens. I had to use the hard power down method multiple times to get the rotating update icon. EVENTUALLY it updated!

    Microsoft:

    Your support teams suggestions are awful and don't take this scenario into account. Telling a user that a fresh installation is an alternative when all others fail is a major failure on YOUR PART. Consider that it may take many days to reinstall apps that worked on the previous version is ridiculous and cruel. Maybe you should consider having an option to load a USB drive with recovery information so that user can revert back WITHOUT having to try to resuscitate a borked, unresponsive system drive.

    SHAME ON YOU!!!!!
