Windows 10: How to download Windows 10 Update Assistant?

This is an update on https://tinyurl.com/y86636cz


1. Lenovo confirm that the laptop went out of protection in June 2018. It was preloaded with Redstone 2 Creators Update which was released in April 2017. Redstone 3, Fall Creators Update, was released in October 2017 after it had been manufactured.


2. The windows.old file mentions only Windows NT - that stopped being supported in 2003, I think, and the WUs took four or five hours to finish. What is seriously wrong is that it assures me that the WUs are up-to-date . But they are not. It's v1803 and won't install v1809 - if it would, then I would probably have to accept that it's an amazing laptop.


3. I'm very pleased with its performance and the photos look amazing. (Performance etc details to follow.)

So, what I now need to know is whether it's possible for me to download the Windows 10 Support Assistant to the Lenovo. If it is, how?

(If it is, I shall probably sink my pride, accept that it will be exactly what I was looking for and be happy again.)
