Windows 10: I can't update to Windows 10 2004 because my PC is "Not Ready".

The Windows 10 May 2020 Update is on its way. Once it’s ready for your device, you’ll see the update available on this page.

This is the message shown by the system.

I have a custom built PC with a Core i7-7700, a GTX 1060, and 16GB of RAM.

Someone help, it's been like this for around half a year.

I want to update to only Windows 10 2004 because of software compatibility.

:)

 

Your Device Is not Ready Vs 2004

If your system has an upgrade block (i.e. the "PC not ready" message in Windows Update) Microsoft is now blocking forced installs.

There are several issues with the 2004 upgrade currently.

I would suggest reading the list of Known Issues.

There is also a currently running thread here on Windows 10 2004 issues -

Known and Resolved issues for Windows 10 May 2020 Update version 2004

 

Not ready for 2004 update message

I'm showing a message that my system is not ready for the 2004 update (has to be software as I dual boot with the Insider versions and have the current version). It shows a click to link to "Learn More". I clicked on the link and there's a lot of info listed but nothing to say what my specific system problem is. The "learn more" is useless. Since it detected an issue it should list what the issue is.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
