My Windows 10 1809 Update Experience
Decided to update from 1803 to 1809.
I did my old Laptop 1st and will do my other Desktops later.
WU would not offer the update so I downloaded the ISO but it failed to update.
I then did a clean install and that worked.
This laptop started it's life on Windows 8 Home and has gone thru Window 8.1, 10 Home and 10 Pro.
I was on W10 Home until a year ago and then used an old W7 Pro key to update to W10 Pro which was a simple task of just changing the key.
After my clean install I was again on W10 Home and activated. It must have read the Bios during install as it never asked. So I used the W7 Pro key and after a reboot which was a surprise and I was updated to W10 Enterprise which of course did not activate. I gave it another try with the W7 Pro key and in a flash I was on W10 Pro and activated.
All is well and almost finished my program installs and getting setup.
Desktops are next and hope they update as they have a lot more programs.

UPDATED: The Laptop came with Windows 8 Home so I corrected this post.
I have just finished my 1st Desktop which was offered 1809 through Windows Update. It went very smooth and all is well.
I will do my wife's Desktop tomorrow.

Did my wife's Desktop a short time ago and again Windows Update offered 1809 and all is fine.
