Windows 10: How to install Win 10 Pro upgrade May 2019 if using USB in place of TPM (as previously...

My three year old Acer desktop PC is running Win 10 Pro v 1803, and I use a USB device to boot the machine successfully (which is using MS BitLocker) since it is not equipped with a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip on the motherboard (prevously MS recommended procedure).


But now, a new MS support document says MS will block the update from any machine running (among others) v 1803 and using a USB device (see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4500988/windows-update-blocked-because-of-drive-reassignment), which is exactly my situation but previously endorsed by MS if a given PC does not have a TPM chip and a Win 10 Pro user wants to use the BitLocker feature of the o/s.


Do I have to remove encryption from all BitLocker drives before attempting the update? Or, is there another solution short of buying a new PC that has a TPM on the motherboard?


Thank you for your responses.

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

Upgrade to Win 10 PRO from a USB.

I have Win 10 Home. I am trying to upgrade to Win 10 PRO from a USB. When I do the boot from USB to install it only reinstalls Win 10 Home.

How do I get it to install Win 10 PRO???
