Tried upgrade to 1903, but was prevented.

It's not an app. Read the instructions again. They say to scroll down to find the entry in the tutorial for iso, click on it and you will download a .reg file. Double-click on that .reg file and it will merge the registry settings it contains into your registry.

To install from the ISO, just do the following.

1. Right click on the ISO and select Mount. The ISO will be mounted in a virtual DVD drive and it will then open in File Explorer.
2. Double click on Setup (or right click on it and select Open) to start the upgrade.

Then follow the rest of the directions Brink gave you in the link Upgrade to Windows 10

I didn't get the "Mount" option, but now that I've tried it again, I opened it in Windows Explorer as Bree said to do in post #5. My laptop is currently in the process of doing the upgrade now. It started really slow, but it got started.

That would seem to be because at some time CyberLink Power2Go was installed. That would have changed the default file associations for .iso files.

Glad to hear that you're on your way. Good luck, and come back to let us know how it went.

Another suggestion: Use 7zip for unpacking ISO to some folder and run the setup.exe from there.

I guess it went through without any problems. It took a bit over 2 hours. I'm surprised that it really doesn't look any different than the version I had before (1709) considering the fact that I skipped over 2 versions of Win10 to get 1903. One funny thing that's different is the battery power indicator. I didn't have a battery installed, and the available power level is showing at 255%. In the past, it just showed something like, "Plugged in, no battery detected".

I'd also like to say that I'm pleasantly surprised that my default settings didn't get changed this time. That's a first! The only other change is that my homepage background went from a photo I had to a solid black background. Nothing major there.
