I just installed the feature update on my main rig (System Spec 1) from Windows Update. Here are my results:
- Start , getting things ready: 5 min
- Download: 5 min
- Installing: 25 min
- Restart to Desktop: 6 min
- Reconfigure custom settings: 20 min
I can report the results on the other, older PCs and laptops as the upgrade comes up for each.
That is impressive. I think you can thank the M.2 NVMe for most of that performanceI've just let Windows Update upgrade an i7-4600U machine and although faster than my first, the disk-intensive stages were still held back by the 'spinner' HDD. I didn't time that one, but we were still talking in hours.
I had the similar results as @TV2 with the 2 HP Spectre x2 laptops I've updated, except my downloads were 40-50 mins not 5 mins. Five mins is amazing! I'm guessing you're not on slow ADSL broadband like me though, haha. The getting things ready, installing & restart to desktop took the same times though.
PC #2 (System Spec 2):
Getting things ready: 7m
Downloading: 4m
Installing to 100%: 29m
Fail
3rd times the charm: Restarting now.
Wow. What a difference
Laptop. 7th gen i5 mobile processor, slow spinner, a mere 12GB RAM. Wireless network, but router does about 400 mbps real world.
Getting ready and download: 24m (I left the room at 16m getting ready , don't know how long DL took)
Installing: 103m (yikes!)
Restart and to desktop: 29m
Sorry to burst in
With my (fast) desktop PC and (fast) broadband speed, the "official" Windows update to 1903 (via Settings) takes an astonishing 7-8 hours to complete!!! Then - what else is new with Windows updates after a first attempt? - it fails miserably, this time with a 0x800705b4 error.
So: where is the best place to download an up to date ISO, so that I can make a manual install after a clean boot? Can you guys provide me with a link? I had a look at Windows 10 Update center but there is such a great amount of various versions on display there, that it gets a bit confusing.
Oh yes, I am updating from 1809 to 1903... 64 bit.
And, by the way, how should one describe a 0x800705b4 error? After some research, it seems to cover such a vast field of possible causes, that it just signifies nothing at first sight.
Thanks.
