Windows 10: Unable to Install/Update Windows 10 1803 from 1709

I am unable to install/update Windows 10 1803 from 1709. I've called MS Technical Support (and called back 3 times per their instructions) which has been a bit challenging due to language issues. I believe they downloaded an ISO file and a "reset" icon on my desktop. However, I wasn't given any instructions about how to us either.


I made an appointment and went to a MS Store in the mall. Among other things, I was advised that I needed to have a battery installed in my computer because it was necessary for a BIOS update. I found my battery; charged it to 100% and went back to the store. The tech support person did update my BIOS. But he could not get 1709 to update to 1803.


Bottom line: I was told that if I wanted to install 1803, I would need to back up my files, etc. because if they install Windows 10 1803 from a thumb drive, everything will be wiped out, I can continue to use 1709 but I will not get any Features updates; the security updates will automatically be installed.


I read about doing an In-place Upgrade. Would that fix the problem? I also read that performing this can repair broken operating system files while preserving personal files, settings and installed applications. Is this the solution?

Next Major Windows 10 Update Named "Spring Creators Update"

The next Windows 10 service pack major update has been named "Spring Creators Update." Windows Insider Program users toying with Build 17618 of the operating system spotted a listing of all the major updates of Windows 10 known to the build, when running "Get-VMHostSupportedVersion" in Power Shell. The last entry reads "Microsoft Windows 10 Spring Creators Update 1803." The version number (1803 in this case), often coincides with the public release date of the update. The Fall Creators Update 1709, released in 2017-09 (September) to Insiders. Going by that convenion, Spring Creators Update could see a "branded" Insider preview build this month, 2018-03 (March), with a public release usually 3-4 weeks after, presumably before Summer kicks in.
