Windows 10: Is it safe to download the 1809 update

Hi,


I just purchased X1 Carbon Yoga and based on what happened to my surface I am hesitant to download the 1809 update on my new computer. Is this update now safe to install or do I run the risk of loosing my files and damaging hardware?

Safe to update Windows 10 to 1809?

Hi,

Is it safe to update Windows to 1809 now? I understood there was a bug that erased data on secondary drives. I do have a backup but would rather avoid the unpleasantry.

When I go through the normal Windows Update process, I'm not getting the option of updating to 1809. I read that there's some ML model at MS that prioritizes devices based on the device. Since I have home assembled Core I7 with 16G, is that a reason why
the ML model wouldn't pick it up? Should I go through the force update steps?

Thanks

Zeid

 

Update Windows 10 to 1809 manually

It's been a while after Microsoft released an update to fix issues in the initial Windows 10 1809 update. But the page where we can download the updates as standalone packages still has a hole instead of download link to the 1809.17763.1 version package:





Windows 10 Update Assistant page is useless as well, since it offers to download April 2018 Update, lol.

So, I can't update my 1803.17134.376 to 1809 even after more than a month since it's initially was released.

(Of course, "drastically improved" Windows Update doesn't suggest the 1809 update, too. Actually, it has been never working on this Win 10 copy, so I used to download all the updates manually via the first link in this post.)

Has anybody figured out a way of how to manually update from 1803 to 1809?

Without hardcore stuff, please, like making bootable media which potentially would have a great chance of destroying the currently installed Win 10 copy

UPDATE: I was completely confused by that "Microsoft recommends" wording near the 1809 update on that page and some top articles in Google saying that it was released and ready for production with that quick patch. So, this question is from this confusion.

Thanks to comments below and @music2myear answer, it's clear now that 1809 is still not released. So, there is no point in update attempts (at least for me) at the moment.

I just upgraded my Surface Pro to Windows 10 build 1809.
Here are the steps I did:

1. Open your web browser and go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and click "Download tool now".
   
2. Double-click on the MediaCreationTool1809.exe file you've downloaded.
   
3. Agree the license terms.
   
4. Select the "Upgrade this PC now" option and click Next.
   
5. Just wait to complete the upgrade process.
