  2. 20H2 In-place upgrade cant keep personal settings and files on 20H2 clean install

    When trying in-place upgrade on a clean windows 10 pro 64 install I cant keep personal settings and files, only option is to keep nothing.

    It says maybe my windows is installed in different folder / older version of windows.

    - The same again on a second fresh installation of windows 20h2 on my system.

    - Both on SATA drive and on new clean NvMe in RAID 0 config.

    - Reseting bios does not help

    - sfc, dism, - no change

    - windows is installed in default folder

    - everything was/is on default

    - never had this issues prior to 20H2

    - I use latest 20H2 iso version, downloaded multiple times with same results

    Asus rog strix X570-e, ryzen 3600xt, 2xnvme ssd in raid 0, 32 gb ram 3600 mhz, gtx 1080, 2xsata ssd, current build 19042.610

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Window 10 20H2 Keeps Failing on New / Clean System

    20H2 system files corrupted on a clean Windows installation sfc /scannow

    Hi,

    I have noticed that sfc /scannow corrected system files. I wonder. So I tested again on a clean Windows 10 20H2 installation and run directly after sfc /scannow.

    Preparation for testing:

    • I used VMware Workstation 16.0.0
    • I created a new virtual machine with default Windows 10 profile
    • I disabled the Network Adapter, the OS has
      no internet the whole process
    • I used the latest official Windows 10 ISO file Win10_20H2_English_x64.iso (md5: e80f6ce987b2bba288469e7379129e12) Build 19042.508
    • Mounted the ISO in VMware

    Installation:

    • So I started to install Windows 10
    • Install Now, No product key, Windows 10 Home, Language en-us, install on the unformatted 60GB drive etc.
    • After reboot, I used "no internet" for local Account, name: admin, no password, disabled all the telemetry trash
    After successful start, I started directly cmd.exe with administrator privilegs and run sfc /scannow.

    It will found corrupted systems files.

    It didn't let me post the log here, so I made a Screenshot.

    What is going on here?

    I repeated the steps with de_windows_10_business_editions_version_20h2_x64_dvd_ce126f3b.iso (md5: 35df62707e53c2064641ccd5b91acb8d)

    Type license: Enterprise

    After repeating the steps above, the result is the same.
