Windows 10: Upgrade Failure— FROM latest version of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit v1909 TO Windows 10 Pro v2004

Computers:
1. Dell Precision 5820T workstation, OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, Memory RAM: 192 Gb
2. Dell Mobile Precision 7510 workstation: OS Win 10 Pro 64-bit, RAM 64 Gb

Q: Why is it that, on both computers, the upgrade from Windows 10 Pro 64-bit FROM latest version of v 1909 TO v2400 continually failed to update unless I do the following:

SITUATION: FYI-- After much fiddling and much irritation, I got a successful update using the following procedure. I had to use the downloaded media create tool, unencrypt Bitlocker on Boot drive, and ADDITIONALLY I had to remove all internal HDD and SSD drives, except the Boot drive in order to get a successful update. The last action is a MUST.

On the Dell 5820T hat required the removal of five 5 drives from flex bays and internal PCIE card moundet SSDs. Note that removal of an internal HDD or SSD in the M7510 laptop is difficult because you have to get into the case and remove some components..

NOTE: I had no problem updating a Dell Inspiron 7373 from Win 10 Pro v1909 to V2004, but that machine only has one internal drive.

I would hope that Microsoft software engineers could solve this upgrade failure glitch for any future Windows upgrades. Any suggestions on a simpler, easier method of upgrade are welcome.

GPU-Z update loop (Windows 10 64-bit)

I don't have better steps - this is all, I have nothing to add.

Maybe it is worth noting issue was on Windows 10 Enterprise, build 14393.187, so maybe you should test on the same.
My other PCs have a different Windows 10 version - Pro, latest Insider Preview build from last week, and there is no such issue on those.
All are 64-bit edition of Windows 10.

This issue is not new. I have had same 1-2 years ago too, with older GPU-Z versions.

EDIT: And yes, I have Windows 10 UAC enabled and set to defaults. If you are using your Windows PCs with UAC off, you likely cannot reproduce this issue. *Smile
