Windows 10: Reinstalling Windows 10 from Retail Box USB

The Retail Box USB contains v1809 of Windows 10. After installing the original version and then going through OOBE and opting in to get the latest from Windows it only updates to v1909 from Windows Update. After a long install of v1909 from Windows Update, I tried manually checking for update and there are no updates to v2009 and only cumulative updates for the current version were available? Why is v2009 not available through Windows Update even when checking manually for updates? I have an ASUS Maximus XI Hero Wi-Fi motherboard with I7-9900K CPU and RTX 2060 graphics card.

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

 

Windows 10 Retail Box-art Revealed

Windows 8.1 pro will download whatever language pack you select & will install it after it is marked active so I am sure windows 10 will let you do the same.

 

Windows 10 Retail USB Stick


Why does the retail boxed version of Windows 10 still have build 10240? After installing the retail version from the bundled USB drive I still have to download a 3.5 GB update to build 10586 every time I reinstall from this read-only USB drive.
