Updated fine, except contents of Documents and Pictures folders missing!!.
Back up is your friend, and everything was soon replaced no harm done.
But MS you said "all your files will be just where you left them" You lied.

WOW! Never hard that one before. You sure you have the right folders - are there instances multiple documents and Pictures folders showing? Did you split the OS to save drive space? Did your user profile get changed?
Your stated issue just doesn't seem plausible unless there was something weird with the machine before the update. A lot of times there are pre-existing issues that an upgrade may run into and try to fix only to result in weird issues, and it being blamed for the problem. That is sometimes an update may appear to cause an issue where a pre-existing or impending issue already existed and thus was not the fault of the update.
Anyway check that there aren't multiple user profiles or that your profile wasn't corrupted.
Good luck.
Interesting post!
You are most likely right that "WinPE"/"WinPE Setup" is missing some inf drivers, while the actual install.wim has those drivers. Maybe try to update/add drivers to the boot.wim images using DISM?
Curious to hear more about this fossil running and upgrading Windows 10 editions. I have been thinking about putting Windows 10 on a similarly old HP Laptop from the early Windows XP era.
The only time I had a similar issue is when a PC I was given to "fix", with "only one user" (user profile) where the user had decided somewhere along the line to make changes to that profile. I found all the "missing" files and folders relatively easily, and then spent about 8 hours sorting out the files before "fixing" the PC and updating WIN 10.
