Yes Mary, you can run the 20H2 media downloaded from Media Creation Tool following the steps in the middle of the download page here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m...
Double click the downloaded ISO to mount it like a drive, look for the Setup file to Run as Administrator.
Update your drivers and BIOS/UEFI firmware first from Dell downloads page here: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Produ... using the Dell Service Tag on sticker. Compare the latest drivers available for download with the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start button. Make sure you have the latest BIOS or UEFI firmware, Chipset, Display (Video), Sound, USB3, Bluetooth, Network and all other drivers, or else download and install the latest now.
Updating drivers from the Device Manager or Windows Update is rarely enough. The most basic thing we need to learn to maintain a PC is keep the latest manufacturer's drivers installed from their Support Downloads web page.
Install Printer driver:
I would Clean Install the printer which always works, lasts longer and actually saves time. Windows still needs the full feature software to properly run all the features of a printer/scanner, the new apps are not mature enough to be fully reliable. Follow these steps:

If you have further problems reply back with results of each step.
Once it's installed and you've run a test print, then scanned it to see that it opens on the desktop, open the Printer software and go into its Settings to set the scan-to file location you prefer, also the email app you want opened for Scan to Email, if applicable.
I hope this helps
i wll not see any dell driver either
things like my cannon printer driver will not update ?
acronis true image used it from a borrowed hard drive that I hd backed up to and one drive is at it capacity, so I will lose apps and programs if i do it the way you suggested.

So let me understand this I f i do not update to the20 H2 a NO updates will install no drivers no aps no program correct even of they are not from windows for example i i want to update realtek auto driver it will not show up as being installed in either the installed updates or in the history or will ot update at all am i correct
Mary, those pictures are at risk until you have a backup. You can back up 5gb free in OneDrive, 15gb free in Google Drive, and rent more storage from them for cheap.
You can also buy an external hard drive or large flash drive to fit your data. Here is a good external hard drive that will store all of your stuff and even have room to save a System Image backup of WIndows to easily restore it if it ever won't start:

Or a large flash stick that should fit it all:

I gave you steps earlier to upgrade to Version 2004 from it's downloadable media.
