Cant upgrade windows 10 1909 to 2004- fails with a bsod .
Hi there folks,
Have a custom built desktop 10 years old though runs quite speedily. Asus evo motherboard, 4gb ram, Samsung evo SSD Nivida 710 GPU, quad core CPU, no problem running Windows 10 pro 1909 updated from former builds. I am more than happy with how Windows 1909 is running on it.
Problem is it fails when working on updates around the 75% mark with a bsod when installing latest update 2004. It seems to go well installing and when pc restarts goes through the motion of working on updates, reaches approx 75% and then the dreaded blue screen, restarts a few times then it rolls back the changes to 1909 again. Restarted into windows, stating that 2004 couldn't be installed due to a second boot error (by the way I do have a dual boot pc with windows 7 main boot active drive and windows 10)
I have tried three times now even with a DVD of the downloaded ISO, installed the latest NVidia 446.14 drive, detached any usb hubs but still the same fail, disabled Malwarebytes at startup
To be honest I have spend maybe 6-8 hours on this, and have almost given up, as have other things to do, and probably happy enough to continue on 1909 but a few questions.
1 if you can think of anything else to try to upgrade to 2004 I would be grateful, or could it be more of a waiting game to wait a few months is case of any bugs currently present?
2 If I do stay on 1909 will I continue to get regular security updates as usual, or will Microsoft eventually insist I update to 2004 again probably with the inevitable fail on my pc?
Thanks for any help, really appreciated.
Joe
