I have only seen (or rather, not seen) the missing 'download and install now' link in 32-bit Windows 10 1809.
As Windows Update is showing the 1903 Feature update as available, then it appears to think your machine is ready for it. You should be able to upgrade to 1903 by following zbooks's instructions.
Hi thanks for your replies. I'm running 32bit windows yes. Although the instructions will greatly help, I'm thinking of letting a week go by to see if the upgrade option magically reappears. I'm not longer getting the "not ready yet" message so as you say it will likely think the device is ready to be upgraded, yet why the option is not there is anyone's guess. I would imagine a glitch with the update app. Do you think clearing the cache would help? Also, my device is 28.9GB or something, hence another reason I'm hesitant to install manually.
I've gotten that message "download and install now" on 3 Desktops and 4 Notebooks, all running 64-bit Win 10 Version 1903 Build 18362 but there were always at least 2 updates to do first, one that always appeared was for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8. Once that was installed and usually rebooted the line was there and clickable. I ended up with Build 18362.329 on all. Haven't had a problem yet.
An additional option is to check the computer specifications and availability of RAM.
If the RAM options allow > 4 GB then you can consider increasing/replacing the RAM and switching to 64x.
@Bree, just did updates on an x86 Notebook from Build .267 to Build .295 and got this, now doing update to Build .329, they must have gotten it fixed.
