Is windows 10 version 1909 stable enough to allow the update

I have a Dell Latitude E7440 with the i5 processor and 256gb ssd drive with 8gb of ram, it is running windows 10 pro version 1903 just fine and is very fast. my question is, is windows 10 pro version 1909 stable enough to allow the update yet? I really do not want to have to spend hours trying to figure out issues with it AGAIN.

My Latitude E7440 has the i7, 8GB RAM and a 500GB SSD. It's been running 1909 since November 2019. I have no problems.

1903 is the same code as 1909, the only difference is that the few extra feature of 1909 are turned off in 1903. A small enablement package KB4517245 that installs like a cumulative update turns them on. There is no big install like previous Feature Updates, no Windows.old created, and you can uninstall KB4517245 at any time to revert to 1903.

Windows 10, versions 1903 and 1909 share a common core operating system and an identical set of system files. As a result, the new features in Windows 10, version 1909 were included in the recent monthly quality update for Windows 10, version 1903 (released October 8, 2019), but are currently in a dormant state. These new features will remain dormant until they are turned on using an enablement package, which is a small, quick-to-install “master switch” that simply activates the Windows 10, version 1909 features.

Working fine for me on 2 desktop PCs and 2 laptops

maybe i will try it this weekend, at least i will have the weekend to play with it if it acts stupid.

Long story short, after any upgrade or updating, perform "DISK CLEAN UP." Version 1909 has no issues on my 4 laptops with the oldest being a 2014 DELL 15 Inspiron, i3, Intel 4th Gen, which my wife uses.

Here's a tutorial for that: Open and Use Disk Cleanup in Windows 10
