Have tried 3 times. Message on update page says it did not install and I may try again. This is not a new install. Have been using for couple of years.

2021-01-21T01:51:04+00:00 I agree. It was safer to stay in 1909. I had this problem as well. I updated my gaming laptop to 20H2, after two days, I can't turn on my laptop anymore. I went to a technician, and I was told that my HDD got corrupted. They had reformatted, and I even bought an SSD and upgraded my RAM to 16GB. Now it's working fine and fast. But suddenly, this 20H2 version pops up again. I tried to download and install it again, but there's still an error. So better not bother with it.
