Any idea why this is? l am literally running a very modern £1600 PC with very modern hardware (approx 6 months old).

    Win 10

    I have four old (vintage 2008/2009) desktop computers and an old (vintage 2009) laptop.  Three of the desktops and the laptop are running Windows 10 Home Edition, and all took the Windows 10 Version 2004 feature update without any issues.  The remaining desktop is running Windows 10 Pro and it keeps getting the "not ready" message - I check it every day.

    Based on this small sample, my guess is that the Version 2004 feature update isn't yet available for computers that are running Windows 10 Pro.

    No, my Windows 10 Pro machines are running great.

    It appears to me that you have isolated a thread of my problem, because I also have Windows 10 Pro - which was included in a Western Digital Solid State Drive upgrade. I do not know if it has anything to do with the problem, BUT that upgrade replaced my previous Windows 7 Home version. Conclusion: Microsoft has us users playing guessing games.   Thanks, Grant Collar

    I finally discovered what seems to be the reason why my old Windows 10 Pro desktop isn't yet ready for the Version 2004 feature update.  According to the information from the relevant "Learn more" page that accompanies the notice, in addition to a list of a bunch of yet unresolved problems, it seems that there are compatibility issues with some NVIDIA Legacy GPUs (link to the list: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/) .  My old desktop has one of them - NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430.  The problem is being investigated, and Microsoft & NVIDIA are supposedly working on developing an update to fix it.

    I hope this will be helpful to some of you.

    Thank you, You have elegantly expressed my own assessment like a twin. Grant Collar

    that diagnostic information is not given because you do not need to know.

    you dont need to like get angry if some update is made available for some other users first before everything is compatible with your particular hardware / software.

    Excuse me, but it's my computer, my licensed OS, my software, and I DO need to know what you are doing with it so that I can plan its use and upgrades.

    When someone tells me that I do not need to know what someone else is doing with my property and my time, I have to wonder... many things.

    Hi,

    there may be several reasons, including software incompatible with 2004, hardware without drivers for 2004 or incompatible with 2004 and so on. Is there any more detailed description?

    Why doesn't Microsoft inform us the reasons why our Windows 10 device is "not quite ready for update"? And, perhaps, at what point time our devices might evolve to be ready for update. Better yet inform each user why his or her particular device is "not quite ready for update" and what remedies might make it "ready for update". Maybe the remedies could be provided by Microsoft.
