I have a system at home now and I am dealing with and another at work that are stuck on older versions of Win 10. My system here is stuck at 1903, not sure what version the work system is although our 3rd party security consultants keep threatening to kick it off the domain. These are normal valid licensed copies of Win 10 Pro x64. Windows upgrade won't upgrade either one and I get strange errors when manually using Windows update assitant on m system. So looks like the only solution is a fresh install of 22h2 from an ISO. Kinda weird but in case you haven't noticed M/S is pushing 11 upgrades. Of course that means buying new hardware or using Rufus to allow a non-standard installation. Work hasn't really done much research into a 11 upgrade yet. The domain situation at work is a mess but that's another story, we are half on one domain and half on aother (those percentages aren't accurate) so trying to upgrade around that will be a hot mess, thankfully not my direct problem to solve.
So I wonder why Microsoft is making Win 10 version upgrades such a pain? Is it intentional? The Win 10 --> 11 drama is going to intensify as Oct. 2025 gets closer. Some users outside of the corp. world just flat out don't want 11, too different. Microsoft should understand that from Office. Leave stuff alone. People get used to automatically doing things without a great deal of thought. Windows 11 forces them to rethink what they are doing.
