Windows 10: old Windows 10 version update issues; can latest version be installed over it?

Windows 10 1703 wouldn't upgrade I tried many times over the past year or so but I tried again yesterday and now gives errors on boot 0xc0000225, then 0xc000007 over and over. I see that creating boot media using Windows Media Creation Tool is what is recommended to fix this, but is it okay to go to the latest windows 10 version this way?

Why do Creative drivers install old versions?

I use a Sound Blaster Audigy SE/Value to run my headphones, and according to Creative's website the latest driver is version 1.04.0090a which is dated 29/01/14. However, when I install them and check the properties it lists driver version 5.12.1.2020 dated 16/10/09. I've extracted the driver files from the installer, and they are dated to 2009, even though the installer was compiled in 2014. What gives?

 

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
