You seem really knowledgeable about Windows 10!

Do you know if there will be any performance improvements in the upcoming releases?

I know nothing can replace an SSD, but I only have a regular HDD...

Sometimes, it is a good thing to check the "Advanced options in Windows Update" to see if it is set to Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted). If not you won't get the update to 1809. Oftentimes, this has been changed unbeknownst to the user or even by him/her and had forgotten about it:

I have no Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) option on my windows 10 home, and I still stuck on 1803, no windows update to 1809

First off, I would suggest to make a full system image backup and then give it a try with:

Update to Latest Version of Windows 10 using Update Assistant Installation & Upgrade

Update to Latest Version of Windows 10 using Update Assistant

If there is anything preventing you from upgrading to the latest version, this move will definitely give you a clue whether or not there is a problem with your system i.e., hardware, driver issue. The backup will help you in rolling back in case anything goes south.

@Emer,
Also remember this:

Note on upgrade blocks:
Blocking the availability of a Windows 10 feature update to devices we know will experience issues is a key aspect of our controlled rollout approach to provide users with a great update experience. We decide what to block based on user impact from closely monitoring feedback and device diagnostics. Blocking issues are a high priority for us to address as quickly as possible. If we detect that your device may have an issue, such as an application incompatibility, we will not install the update until that issue is resolved, even if you “Check for updates”. We do this so that you avoid encountering any known problems.

I've been on several MS Betas with Andre Da Costa; he knows his stuff for sure.

You know what you should be saving up for.

Been using a pci Creative x-fi sound card and have had no issues, running build 1809. Today Windows Update installed new drivers for the sound card, version 6.0.240.25, and now nothing works, cant select the sound card, there are no properties to configure, and no sound plays.

You need to be logged into an Admin account to see the advanced update options. I suspect you are using a User account.

Hi All,

I can't set up OneDrive to a different drive. My system drive is only 112GB.

The app crashes when I use the change button on Set up folders.
