Windows 10 Pro 1709 update to 1803, 1809 or 1903?

In theory your current settings will be delaying updates to a point where there should not be any stability or quality issues. All being well you will have a years worth of quality issues in that version fixed.

• If you want latest with potential teething troubles then go for 1903.
  
• 1809 has been out for more than 6 months so there should no longer be any show-stopping bugs or errors, everything should just work
  
• your current settings are postponing feature updates for 1 year and as a result you are offered 1803. This version should be solid, by now well tested and fairly mature.
  
  The version number of 1803 x64 2019-07B suggests that it is downloading it with all relevant updates to July 2019, meaning you are getting all the fixes without the problems of a newer "feature" update such as 1809 or 1903.
  

If you want best stability and least chance of issues then let it install the version it is proposing.

If you want to live on the edge then go for something newer.

If your system is mission critical and you have no backups then you want stability. If you want features but can tolerate a bit of risk then you want the latest.

 

W10 1809 to 1903 update

Lenovo ThinkCentre E73, I have updated from W10 1809 to 1903 and the PC has now gone really slow and having issues with admin rights, I have chkdsk'd and scannow'd' but no issues found. Tried an inplace update in case windows was corrupted and get the
message some hardware on this PC is incompatible with 1903 update. Can anyone shed any light in these issues please. I have had to revert to 1809 to make the PC usable again. Any suggestions please ? Microsoft have said Lenovo are responsible and Lenovo have
said Microsoft is responsible, which does not help me one bit.

 

Windows 10 Pro 1709 update to 1803, 1809 or 1903?

Windows 10 version 1709 End of Service (EOS) date was back on April 9, 2019. So if you want a stable system you should immediately upgrade to one of the supported versions. Windows 10 version 1803 will reach End of Service on November 12, 2019.

Windows 10 version 1809 and Windows 10 version 1903 will each End of Service on May 12, 2020 and December 8, 2020 respectfully. The next feature update (19H2) will be a cumulative update for 1903. This likely will result in an extension of the End of Service date to 1903 more than likely.

Windows 10 version 1809 and Windows 10 version 1903 are both considered stable. The majority of the issues that were blocking users from 1903 have actually been resolved. Most issues that exist on Windows 10 version 1903 also are also a problem for Windows 10 version 1809 (outside issues specific to Windows Sandbox).

Those stability issues have been resolved for months. Windows 10 version 1709 has numerous issues that are open currently, so it's not like that particular version of Windows 10, isn't without it's own flaws. At the end of the day, most Windows 10 issues, apply the majority of the features. It's only when an issue is specific to a feature, that only exists within a single Windows 10 version, is a feature release affected by that issue.

You should use the Disk Cleanup tool to cleanup the temporary files, then download a Windows 10 1809 ISO, and perform the upgrade to Windows 10 1809 by mounting the image within Windows.

Relevant Information:

• Windows 10, version 1903 and Windows Server, version 1903
  
• Windows 10, version 1809 and Windows Server 2019
