Windows 10: Battery Percentage Error & Advise On Upgrading To Insider Preview

Hello. I would like to clarify 2 questions.


Firstly, regarding my battery percentage issue. For the past few years including this year, my laptop has been running on AC power as the battery that came with this laptop no longer charges. Before the November 2019 update was installed on my laptop, whenever I hover on to the battery icon it will show a mini pop-up that says "No battery is detected". After I've installed the update, whenever I hover on the battery icon, it will show a mini pop-up that says "255% available Plugged in" [as shown below]. Is there a way to rectify this issue?




Secondly, I am currently using an Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820T laptop. I am planning to upgrade my existing laptop running Windows 10 version 1909, to Version 2004 via Windows Insider Preview. With the specifications given below, is it recommended for me to upgrade to the Windows Insider Preview Windows 10 Version 2004?




Looking forward to replies. Thank you! :

Battery Percentage Windows 10

It makes no sense to not have a battery percentage indicator on mouseover. Clicking on the icon to see the percentage leftover is an extra step I'd rather not take.
