In-place upgrade will not affect system configuration and personal data. Perform an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 with MDT.
Note: Please follow the steps in our documentation to enable e-mail notifications if you want to receive the related email notification for this thread. I don't have time to setup MDT and even if I did none of these computers are on a domain. They're all on a separate network and am not going to waste time setting up a whole new domain and MDT. The computers will remain unpatched.
Microsoft has once again made a stupid decision that will compromise security. I know you're not happy with the way things have turned out, but it's a real reality. If we need to manage those computers more efficient in the future, spend time to setup a domain environment is necessary which can associate devices in different location, different network.
Also for management those device such as update, upgrade, deploy and so on, management tool is also necessary to make work more efficient. But if you are not prefer to use them, the measure we could do is update them one by one. Or we could create a script to execute it on each device to complete update action.
If you need have a script assistance, we could contact with Script forum support. If yes, please accept as answer. If you have any other issue or need further assistance, please reply to us directly. Hi JoeV have you made any progress on this? Just curious? I would recommend downloading the ISO for vers and doing an in-place upgrade for each machine. Error Code 0x activation error. Problem disk C and the usb.
Upgrade win 10 entreprise evaluation copy to fully copy. I can't update my PC to Update. Skip to main content. Find threads, tags, and users Thanks, Joe.
Current Visibility: Visible to all users. Hi JoeV, Maybe you can try this site Hi, If you need Windows 10 feature update, we need to download package KB Second, that Windows Update will download and install any other update that may not have been installed yet on the machine. Last but not least, the update is only downloaded for that machine and that update process. If things go wrong, you may need to download the update again. The Update Assistant is an official program by Microsoft to update older versions of Windows 10 to newer versions introduced by feature updates.
What is good about the program is that it checks the installed version and tells you right away if an update is available. You can download the Update Assistant from the Microsoft website and run it right after you have downloaded it to the system you want to upgrade to a new version of Windows.
Hit the "update now" button if an update is found to download and install the feature update on the PC or select "do not update now" to skip the update for the time being.
The Update Assistant gives you more control than Windows Update as you can select not to upgrade at the time.
Its main downside is that you need to run it on the system that you want to upgrade. If you need to upgrade multiple systems, you need to run the tool on each and it will download the installation files on each separately. Microsoft's Media Creation Tool is primarily for customers who want to create installation media. While it is possible to run the tool to update the machine it is run on, its primary purpose is the creation of installation media.
All that is required is to download the latest version of the tool from the Microsoft website and run it afterward. Note : The program requires Internet access to download the installation files to the system. Just boot the PC from the installation media when you want to install the feature update to upgrade it.
It is also possible to use the installation media to install Windows 10 anew on a PC. The main downside of this method is that you add another step to the installation process and that you need a blank DVD or a Flash Drive to make use of it.
My update method stopped on and will not upgrade in any forseable future. Next upgrade will be full transfer to Linux Mint. Wise decision. You can skip old updates. I use WPD or Winaero Tweaker to block all updates and then get updates for my version when Martin lists them here every month if Winaero Tweaker is used, you must temporarily disable the block updates feature to even manually install any update.
When a feature update is released, I use the Media Creation Tool. When you run it, at the very start there is an option to select update this machine instead of create update media. The Media Update Tool is always specific to the new version and will install that version only. I have already downloaded the version to the Media Creation Tool and will wait a month to update from to let some of the bugs get fixed.
Actually worse than LTSB I honestly am impressed by how terrible the Windows 10 experience is nowadays. And this is supposed to be the better SKU. The task manager bugs will probably be patched up on Tuesday. Always in Beta indeed like Skype 8. Download ISO. Shut down all unnecessary processes. Go get a cup of tea and biscuits. Put the tv on. I am very pleased to have upgraded ro Build ,1 yesterday. For my home netbook x64 it took 69 minutes to install from download via WU method 1, through final restart.
Several tips were useful to me. For the next Feature Update I will use method 2 in all probability. As an aside, the Make Text Bigger feature is super for me. Magnifier and my handheld magnifier are much less needed. Incorrect CPU levels are an expected issue and so is some icons blinking in task manager. They will be patched up on Tuesday. This is completely wrong!!! The Media Creation Tool also has the ability to install windows without the need of a dvd or flash drive!!! Updated an old got in PC from to today.
Took about 2 hours, as it is still running on old HDDs. Tested all commonly used programs. Only one failed, but it is a beta product.
