Preparing for 1909 upgrade
I have recently began experiencing some OS issues in my i7-3630QM HP laptop, running Windows 10 Home x64 v1809. I am confident that it is an OS, not hardware issue—long boot times, cross linked files, logging out of account going to a black screen, certain updates not installing, losing ownership rights, etc. During the process of trying to fix these problems, I saw that I have a v1909 option-to download and install.
I have started taking steps to resolve the issues (including sfc) but am still having some problems. Based on having an “older” version, is installing 1909 a complete overwrite of 1809 or a patch job? For obvious reasons, I don’t want to patch over a “base” v1809 with issues. I have also considered “resetting” the computer (not factory reset) in the hopes of keeping data files in place prior to updating.
What I do from this point will depend on the behavior of the 1909 installation. I would hope that a overwrite install of 1909 would wipe 1809, its associated problems and solve my problems.
