The Bonny had another problem as I discovered - I dropped a florin out of my pocket when getting out some money while astride. It found that the carb inlet was big enough that it got sucked in!
Luckily the inlet narrowed down enough that it couldn't get any further! Was that the users fault?
I had many bikes over the years but by the time I became an instructor I had given up on British as Japanese was more comfortable and reliable!

My early '60s Bonny was my first "Real" motorcycle. Got it new, literary in a crate, some assembly required. It's was one of few hundred bought for police at that time but proved deadly for cops so they sold them off and bought BMWs which were more sedate. It was fun with them, warts and all. Japanese didn't have anything like that at that time but they caught up soon enough. Now I have a Yamaha 250ccm, good enough for an old timer like me.
Thank you for your reply.
I clearly did not emphasis my ability as a novice in strong enough terms.
I'll have to give your advice a miss as the DISM instructions are beyond me!
I'm coming to conclusion however that I may be better off leaving my machine with its current version: 2004 (OS Build 19041.329), as I'm not interested in any new features - for me it was just fine from new out of the box with 1709 (OS Build 16299.248)
If however there are better security features with the latest Build version, then perhaps that could be explained to me?

Obviously I could not just walk away from this without delving deeper, so I searched on how to install Updates from a CAB file. Brink's explanation seemed to make sense to me, so I gave it a go.
Sadly for me, the update to 423 still fails - that's if I've understood and performed it correctly?:
KB4568831 CAB Install failed by Philip Mock, on Flickr
Why did I get another kb4566782 update request today, though it was already installed on 12.8.?

Your system date is wrong, or you have a damaged root authority, run this in cmd prompt
certutil.exe -generateSSTFromWU roots.sst
then in powershell
$sstStore = ( Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ps\rootsupd\roots.sst )
$sstStore | Import-Certificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
You can also use the STL in https://aka.ms/CTLDownload and certutil -addstore -f root authroot.stl
There is not much new. This article by Winaero gives the highlights such as they are What's new in Windows 10 version 20H2
Harley Davidson will probably be gone when the baby boomers have all departed this life.
My update attempt today after days of occasional attempts to install it resulted in:-
ACER2020 is now successfully upgraded to Pro using the Settings/Upgrade process - the KB install gets to 99% now, but still ends up with the "get stuffed" message before it undoes all the changes! Weird!

To me, things that just work are boring.
