    Well, well, well, πŸ‘€ who's back πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘πŸ‘ I have been noticing your absence, but CONGRATS on the new grandchild πŸ‘

    Same here, used WUA, easy update process and 24H2 humming along nicely.

    Not sure why I saw someone asking about bios changes before going to 24H2 πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

    An opinion:

    There is this πŸ‘‡ (preferred), instead of winver. Taken from Settings/System/About

    Hi RAJU.MSC.MATHEMATICS

      It's good to see you again my friend, It's been awhile
    
      I've made NO changes in my bios or anyplace else on my two year old system, I did have to run the PC Health Checker again and it came up with NO problems and after that I just let the Windows Assist tool do the upgrade.

    Hi neilpzz

      you are correct my friend. The upgrade is most definitely being release in waves. that's the reason I used the Windows Assist Tool from the download page to do my upgrade. Hopefully others will try it.

    Hey Drew

      Thank You my friend its good to be back and its Great to see you again. And Thank You for the tip. 
    

    I'm also humming along and loving the upgrade 24H2

    >" Not sure why I saw someone asking about bios changes before going to 24H2"<

    I'm not really sure myself Drew except "Maybe" they had to make some kind of change in there Bios before they could proceed. Only time will tell how smooth the upgrade went for the majority of users.

    Take care my friend and its Good to see you and all my friends again 😊
