Windows 10: is there anyway to get the October windows update since the May one will not work on this...

Client sent me his old dell laptop as its stuck on 1709 and not able to update, he just now got around to sending it in.

Anyway, since the latest update, 1903 doesn't seem to be allowing the laptop to update if there is an sd card or usb attached, which is needed for windows to have enough space....., it will not update.

Windows update "check for updates" button also seems to have been removed. At least it isn't showing up on this machine most of the time.






Anyway, very very long story short. Been juggling, trying to get this machine for repair for over 2 weeks since he is stationed in a remote area. Now I cannot update due to the new update issue on laptops.

I also do not have access to the original installation media, so I do NOT have access to the software key. Does anyone know if there a way to get just the october update from somewhere? Again, I cannot use any method that will require the key or reinstallation as I do not have the media or the info.


thank you

:)

 

Intel Gives Core i3 and Core i5 Dual-Core Processors K0 Stepping Update

Intel is giving some existing 32 nm "Clarkdale" based Core i3 and Core i5 processors an update. The processors will transition to the new K0 stepping from the existing C2 stepping. The parts that will be made on the K0 silicon are Core i3 models 530 (new sSPEC: SLBX7), 540 (new sSPEC: SLBTD) and Core i5 models 650 (new sSPEC: SLBTJ), 660/661 (SLBTK/SLBTB), 670 (SLBTL). Newer and upcoming models such as the i3-550, i3-560, i5-665K, and i5-680 are already being built on the K0 stepping die. Motherboards will require a BIOS update to support the new K0 stepping processors.

The K0 stepping change includes the following highlights:

• New S-spec and MM numbers for the converting products
• Extended CPUID will change from 0x00020652 to 0x00020655
• Host RevID will change from 0x12 to 0x18
• K0 stepping package is pin compatible with C2 stepping package
• Adds Processor Context ID (PCID) support

The revised older SKUs that are built on K0 stepping will be market-available by October 16.
