Prepare your device before installing the May 2020 Update

To avoid issues during the installation process of Windows 10’s May 2020 Update, you should unplug your external drives and memory cards. Users have previously reported that the external storage hardware could block systems from installing the update.

Likewise, Windows Update can cause system failures or incorrectly assign your drive if you don’t unplug your external storage devices.

Windows 10 Update is also going to require a chunk of space to finish the installation process. Windows Update does not check to see if sufficient free space exists before starting the installation process and if you do not have enough free space, it’ll lead to update failure and uninformative error codes.

Get the drivers

Intel and Nvidia have already started rolling out their new GPU drivers with support for Windows 10 May 2020 Update.

For the best experience, make sure you download the GPU drivers from the manufacturer’s website.
