    I have also run them, but in my case I don't think the problem lies there. As I said before, it could be many reasons: wi-fi certificate issues, µcrocode firmware for my CPU (I know a patch has been issued for mine 306C3, but maybe I will get it through Windows Update), drivers issue (not my graphic display adapter which is definitely up-to-date) Software incompatibility issue, and I can go on and on... This is why it is better left for MS to figure it all out.

    You are luckier than I am, because 1903 is being offered to you. Now the decision is yours.
    You're correct.
    Of course, I have no way of confirming, that what I did had any effect on the 1903 update offer.

    Hi,
    Already got a dvd of 1903
    Upgrading a 1709 lol this should be fun ride
    I just saw your post, and it interested me because I'm in the exact same situation. I have 1709 and want to get 1903.

    When you did it, did you have to do a clean install of 1903? That's what I'm being told I would have to do. The only way I'm told I could avoid a clean install is to do an update to 1803, and then 1809, and then 1903. Is that what you had to do?

    Actually, I expect you to be pleasantly surprised. I hav (so far) successfully upgraded to 1903 from 1809, 1803, 1511 and 1507 - all went smoothly. I don't see why 1709 (or 1607) should be any different.

    I'm having a problem with graphics driver at 00:26-00:29 it stops responding on 1903 and I get a momentary black screen. I have rolled back my driver to Nvidia 347.88 after trying the 2 latest drivers from Nvidia but I have seen this tdr error before.

    Have you tried the hotfix driver 430.97? I had issues with my sound and they released this one yesterday to address several items.

    Unfortunately my old GT610 doesn't support the newer drivers the latest for my card is 391.35 released in March 2018 so looks as if my card is no longer supported.

    Don't mean to butt in, but the latest Hotfix seems to 431.18. I install it myself today.

    When you upgraded to 1903 from versions earlier than 1809, did you have to do a clean install? That's what I've been told I'd have to do if I upgraded to 1903 directly from 1709. They said I'd have to first upgrade from 1709 to 1803, then to 1809, and then to 1903. Is this true? I'd like to go directly to 1903 but don't want to do a clean install as a result. I'm waiting to know for sure before proceeding.

    Who told you that? It's not true, you can skip as many versions as you like. Just use the MCT to make the 1903 ISO, mount it, then run Setup.exe on the root of the ISO to start an in-place upgrade.

    This tutorial tells you how to do an in-place upgrade, see Step 4.

    Not having tried the step from 1709 to 1903, I've tested it for you. Here is my test machine (System Two below). part way through an in-place upgrade from 1709 to 1903.

    Edit: and some 90 minutes later it finished, with all files and apps still there.
