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.

    I have the experience of updating to 2004 on 6 desktops, 3 laptops, the experience on all were completely different.

    The ancient (at least 12 years old) desktop worked with flying colours, and is up to 20H2 and cumulative update already.

    But I had 2 ASUS desktops that refused time after time, eventually the newest loaded but gave a black screen after login, that was fatal as even safe mode failed to work, I had to perform a full fresh install error free !!!!

    The other at the 10th attempt at bedtime, was upgraded by morning,

    2 other desktops loaded fine first time the others required work around suggested on other threads here.

    my main (very new) laptop is fine, my old retired laptop (keyboard faulty) is refusing to down load 2004 despite saying it is available, the other current problem with this laptop is windows search feature not working due to a previous version upgrade. I am stupidly expecting the upgrade to fix the "search" issue, (an attempt at a fresh install keeping my apps failed).

    I dread MS announcing an upgrade, most requiring latte nights to fix issues with the upgrade.

    I have a question.  Since your stupid update rendered my computer useless are you going to replace it or not? I feel the Microsoft corporation should be held accountable for this failure. In the future I will be sure to buy Sony and Mac products as they have proven reliability and Microsoft does not. Microsoft owes me an explanation and a new lap top and I will be using Linux instead of windows. If anyone else reads this , please join me in holding Microsoft accountable for this outrageous fiasco.

    Hi,

    The difference is that Windows 7 gave no problems. not for me anyway.

    And, after doing some research it seems this upgrade is full of issues.

    When windows 10 first came out it was a constant fix and re-fix. I would prefer not to go through that world of frustration again.

    I'm not as tech savvy as some and do not want to have to stress about jumping through hoops to have my PC and laptop in good working order again.

    My PC and laptop are in a perfect state for me currently ; So unless I am forced to, I'll be happy to wait.

    Thanks for your input, you have answered my question.

    Regards.

    Joe I.

    Kudos.
