Windows 10 May 2019 Update version 1903 rollout approach

But only the users of the Pro version, the news here is that, from version 1903, users of the Home version will be able to pause the updates for up to 35 days (currently, users of the Home version can't pause updates), even so, users of the Pro version have many more options since they can defer a feature update for 365 days and a quality update for 30 more days.

OK, that's good for the Windows Home users, for sure. Still, the Home user should have the same options I as a Pro user have. I just watched a ZDNet video where Ed Bott and Mary Jo Foley both said pretty much the same.

I rarely postpone updates unless something goes terribly wrong, but when that happens, I wind up restoring via backup, then postponing updates from there!

Only in Pro at the moment. This will apparently now be available in Home. Note the use of the word 'all' in this...

I don't understand why the Home user shouldn't have the same options I have. Most new computers only come with Windows 10 Home by default, and it costs almost $200.00 more ($179 more IIRC) to get Pro. I know this because I just helped one of my Windows 10 students buy a new laptop. It's beside the point that all he needs is Home.

RP next week , no? Isn’t that saying starting as early as next week?

Yes, I think that's what it's saying. RP (18362/19h1/1903/May Update/???) to Insiders starting next week, the version that will become public after tweaking and massaging and fixing for a while, released in late May.

Meanwhile, my Orioles lost their opener to the Yankees.............. 8-4.

So, that means that if I have 1809 set to RP, I'll get an update to 1903 sometime next week (maybe)?

If so, I'll have to set Teaching Lappy to RP so I can give a demonstration on updating to the class next Wednesday (again, maybe).

According to MS, not me, that is correct as far as I understand it.

EDIT: You changed your post after I replied. Don't know about setting up a teaching laptop with Release Preview. Guess if you did, and did all the updates, it would get the upgrade next week sometime, I really do not know what the MS dole-it-out schedule will be.
