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.

    Millions of Windows Insiders are not Microsoft Employees whose sole focus is release quality.

    The sole focus of the Windows Insiders - who include employees from Microsoft, hardware manufacturers and software developers - is release quality.

    Having the Insiders test new releases is far superior to having only Microsoft employees do the testing. Microsoft can't possibly test a release candidate on every combination of hardware and software, and Microsoft doesn't have the proprietary knowledge of third-party hardware and software products needed for a full evaluation.

    I was guided to this question on PC failures after up dates on W's10.  Every 2 months my PC crash's after updates.  I am on my 3rd time.  This failure in involves a lot of homework and time  on my part to begin again 

        I am not a computer GEEK or good typist.  I am 76 and would rather spend the time I have on other things. 

                 Very tired Granny C

    Can you forward this or help me at my email,   ******@hotmail.com

    Carol

      I have 2 different screen versions of Hotmail, I hate one and can't get mine pinned to start or dragged to task bar.  SOUNDS simple but is a monster.  

    Thank you for your help.  Your reply tells me why this is happening.  My friend will tell me how refuse updates but more important is to glean what is good and leave the rest but if what look's inviting is BAD I don't want it.  Thinking people expect to be presented with a Quality product from Microsoft.  Sorry to learn this but look at what we have for a President, Ha HA.  Quality in the real world is hard to find among the trash presented.   

        I hope I spelled everything right here.

    Thanks for your time

    YES or NO    ????    HAVE TO TRY FIRST

    2nd thoughts here.  After reading more above.  Yes 1 update a year, spend that year TESTING, TESTING, TESTING like our Covid19.  Who wants Computer HELL.

    Keep in touch, that helps.

    I remember Windows 98 fondly.

    Personally I didn't have any issues installing 2004 any of my three devices.  A relatively new Dell 2n1, an fairly old Hp desktop, and a Surface 3. My problem is getting 2004 to install on my 90 year old dad's strong but not new Dell desktop.  I have go to his house then 1 to 2 hours for 2004 download and attempt to install It always fails.

    Now are you saying there is an updated version of 2004 ready for download?  Has anyone plagued with failed installs had this version successfully install??
