I'm remembering a song, from some years ago, in which was the verse,"When will they ever learn".
In all the years that I've been using Windows, all the way back to 3.11, I have never gone from one version of Windows to the next higher version by using the UPDATE process. The complaints from people who do that number into the Thousands!!!
My own, and never failing method to go from a Windows version to the next higher version is to just disconnect the old HD, connect a fresh new HD or SSD and do a CLEAN Install of the new version.
Today that new version is NEVER downloaded from MS or any of its cohorts. But, from an Independent and Trustworthy source.
Then I use ONLY Rufus to burn that new ISO to a Flash Drive for the Clean Install.
Then when I do the install of a new version of Windows, I get a Clean, Lean and mean install of Windows and none of the Crap that one gets from MS.
I know, I've said this before, but Windows 11 24H2 is the fastest Windows I've ever installed. And I virtually have NO problems with it.
"When will they ever learn?"
