Really shouldn't be that long.....

From clicking 'Download and install' in WU to a working desktop - 4 hours 49 minutes.




Par for the course, really. Been much the same with this system's previous major feature upgrades when Windows Update was asked to do them.

....over four hours from start to a working desktop.

How long does the 2004 upgrade take using Windows Update?

Don't think ANY update has taken me that long...over 4 hours.....never.

Gossip in LP? I thought this was the authoritative go-to place for all things Win 10/11? Or was that XP? Hmmmm......

I've had the occasional 3 hours on insider dev builds but never that long.

That's been typical for this system's last three major feature updates. It may be because there's a lot of installed apps on this system. The new 'hardware home' for this system is similar in many respects to its old 'host body' (it has an HDD for a start) and the new processor is hardly a 'rocket'.

As I've said previously, if you want a fast upgrade the last thing you should do is ask Windows Update to do it for you On the same hardware an in-place upgrade with an ISO would be at least twice as fast.

Still, nothing comes close to the clean install on my other 'W11 ready' machine. With a 10th gen i7 and a PCIe NVMe SSD it took 10 minutes from booting the install usb to the desktop

Both my computers are custom made by me and overclocked

Bear in mind that for the first three and a half hours WU was working away quietly in the background, so the PC was still available for normal use.
