    "repair install" or "in place upgrade" is broken in 20H2


    You cannot to a "repair install" or "in place upgrade" and keep files and apps with 20H2. It works fine with 2004. The installation media will not allow you to keep your files and apps. All other options other than "Nothing" are greyed out.

    To be clear, you CAN upgrade from 2004 and "Keep files and apps" but should you try to click on setup on the install USB and reinstall 20H2 again, the option to "Keep files and apps" is now greyed out and you have to choose "Keep nothing".

    Try it. you don't have to do the full install. Just get as far as what you want to keep after already installing 20H2. This is broken.

    Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade  


    Hello dlfetters48, and welcome to Ten Forums. "repair install" or "in place upgrade" is broken in 20H2 :)

    Yes, you can use a Windows 10 DVD as well. When you open the DVD, you would just pick up at step 4C.

    A repair install is used to repair your current installation by basically doing an in-place upgrade using the same build so you don't lose anything during the process.

    step:4 To do a repair install of Windows 10 with an ISO file - Can I use a Windows 10 DVD that I burned?
    This tutorial will show you how to do a repair install of Windows 10 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything. ​Is this tutorial just for an upgrade? Or can I use this method to repair my Windows 10 Pro install, while keeping all of my installed programs? Thanks
