    Can I update old version of Win10 in one go?


    I have an old system that is basically used as a display case. The video driver in it started to have issues so I've been told to update it. But when I run it, it gives me this message:




    Updates were disabled originally, so it's probably 2 years old. I enabled them back and left it overnight. This morning the computer rebooted, but the driver still didn't install.

    So I started updated manually again. And it's been stuck on this message for the last 3 hours:






    Is there a way I can download them all at once without going one-by-one?

    PS. How long is it gonna take? A week?

    Oh, that's awesome. This link seems like have that update. Downloading it now.

    I just don't understand why MSFT can't do it automatically. Such a waste of time for the users.

    PS. Otherwise I don't want to reinstall anythibng. I just want my video driver to work. That's it. I have other things to spend my time on you know.

    Before Christmas I had a client with issues running Win10 Version 1803, did the upgrading to current but it went to Version 1909 first followed by Version 2004 then was offered Version 2009/20H2. There were some changes when the monthly Build updates were made smaller for quicker downloads [300MB or so versus 1+GB] and weren't as many changes involved. If the updates weren't installed when offered there will be more data involved in getting a system ready for the next.

    I have/had three systems running 1909. Two didn't update to 2004 until September and November. Then 20H2 in November and December.

    The third is still waiting; getting only 1909 cumulatives as of the latest Windows Update. I'm thinking I might get 1909 to 22H1 by Thanksgiving, 2022...

    I haven't had this much suspense since updating NT4 in the 90's.

    Hope you have better luck. Cheers.

    That is so funny. Don't mention. Exactly the same thing here.

    And they want people to install updates. I disable update service as soon as I get my system into a running state. Otherwise they are worse than viruses (in the amount of damage and inconvenience that they cause.)

    Plus it's so confusing. Before it used to be Windows XP, then 7, then 8. etc. At least you knew what to install. Now it's all Win10 and then some crazy number at the end. Like why tf was I supposed to install Win10 2004? Is it like a trip down memory lane when MSFT had some clout
