    Hi, Bill_Who!

    My name is Caio. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    Try updating Windows using the Update Assistant. You can get it at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo... clicking on Update now, then opening the file and letting it download and install the update.

    I hope this helps you! Please let me know if I can assist you more.

    Best regards,

    Been trying to update to 20H2 many times. It never work's no matter what I try.  My computer is still under warenty so I called DELL help.  I have only GOOD things to say about DELL Help.  I gave Dell control of my computer and they spent more than 9 HOURS trying to install the update.  Never could install the update.  Would go all the way thru and then say could not complete the update.  Each attempt was around three hours.   I have over 40 hours trying different things.

    I have had the same issue for a long time. Very much a disappointment. I have had 2 help chats with Microsoft ,first one did a remote hook up and was buzzing around for a couple of hours. Second one didn,t seem to give a darn. I am thinking maybe time for a Mac if Microsoft can,t get their stuff in order.
