Windows 10: update Windows 10 Pro 1709 directly to 1903?

Hi!


I am using Windows 10 Pro 1709 (OS build 16299.1087).


Now Windows has downloaded update 1803 x64 2019-07B (I delayed the installation by 365 days) and wants to install it by restarting the computer. However, I have postponed this so far.


I would like to update directly to 1903.


I discovered the link

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10


But since 1803 is already downloaded will this work? If yes, how do I delete the downloaded 1803? Or is this done automatically?


And one other question: It seems that it is recommended to make a complete image backup of the drive. How to do this? Which is the best software for this?


Thanks.

:)

That's completely distaster when Windows start to update drivers. You have option to disable Driver updates in Windows 10 newer updates.

I can't look for solution for their halucinations and decisions to Windows install what you want.

 

Unable to update Windows 10 Pro version 1709 to 1803

Have made several attempts to update Windows 10 version 1709 to the latest version 1803 and have not been successful.

I've done the following per some suggestions found online:

• Updated drivers
• Ran the Trouble Shooter for Windows 10 (Errors found were shown to be "Fixed" per the tool)
• Unplugged the printer

Although not at every attempt, I have received the following errors:

• 0xc1900101
• 0x80070643

Can someone please advise me as to what the errors are and provide me with the steps to update Windows.

Thank you.
