winver 1809

Got the itch last night to do a little tinkering on my PC.

I signed into Windows Insider and downloaded the evaluation version of 1809

and installed it in an SSD that was running a cloned copy of v1803.

Their were no files lost and everything was where it was supposed to be.

I know some have had issues with v1809 but it installed and ran well on this PC.

The ISO is 4.6GB and it would not burn to a 4.7GB DVD so I just mounted the ISO on

my desktop and ran setup from their, took about two hrs to install on this PC.

The size of this feature update, I am sure will not be friendly to laptops and or slower

PC's, especially with slow downloads.

I will say, or at least what I have seen, looks good but not to the point where I just

absolutely have to have it installed.

Not much for desktop users.

Downloaded the W10 Update Assistant and installed W10 v1809 build17763.134.

Everything went OK. Just had to reinstall my Winaero Games.

Snipping tool is different and I do like the black theme.

Made a system image of v1803 before doing the update.

I also removed the recovery partition that is always installed

during the feature update. I also used disk cleanup to remove the

windows.old folder, and then did a system image of v1809.

Everything is working OK!!!

Quote from Splinter

"Microsoft really need to field test these updates before releasing them into the wild."

I would think a 1 year rollout of feature updates would give MS more time to work on

and get the updates right.
