Windows 10: Upgrading from Windows 1803 to 1809

Hi, I am currently running Win10 1803. Now I would like to upgrade to 1809. However, the Windows Update offers only 1903 version which I do not want to install yet. I specifically need to upgrade to 1809.


I went to download Media Creation Tool (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10) but it also offers only 1903 version.


How could I upgrade to 1809 in the time when Microsoft pushes 1903 version only?


I would be very thankful if you could help me with this.

:)

 

Upgrade 1803 -> 1809 Failed & No Longer Available

Hello

I'm looking for a bit of help. I'm trying to upgrade my Windows 10 however the installation keeps failing. Current version is 1803 and trying to go to 1809. When the install reaches 42% the PC locks up and I have to restart, causing it to roll back to 1803.
After a few attempts the updates says everything is up-to-date, however the PC is still at 1803.

Looking around on various places there's a few things I've tried:

• Removing antivirus + malware (Avira + Malwarebytes).
• Unplugging all non-essential USB devices.
• Updated GFX drivers to latest.
• Ran the Windows Update Assistant.

All sadly to no avail. Thoughts? I can provide logs if needed (although please advise which ones are required and how to locate them)

Regards,

You would be able to revert back to previous windows within the first ten days after the upgrade installed, you can Downgrade Windows 10 1809 to 1803 using the recovery options. However, if you performed clean installation
you would not be able to rollback to earlier build version of windows 10.

Follow the below steps, if you have upgrade your Windows 10 within 10 days.

   Windows + I keyboard.
   
2. Click on Update & Security then
   Recovery on the left.
   
3. Now click on Get started under ‘Go back to the previous version of Windows 10.

5. Select any preferred answer or Select for another Reason (also there is option to tell Microsoft more about your reasons if you wish) and click
Next to continue.

6. When you click on next Windows 10 will prompt you the chance to check for updates in case that a new update is available to fix the current issue you’re having.
