Windows 10 2004

donnajunkie

i am just wondering how long is it wise to delay upgrading to the new version. I ask because problems seem common with windows 10 updates. I know there can never be a 100% guarantee.

I updated a week or so ago ... no problems here except for having to reset some of my graphics card settings (i.e. which card a prog uses - either builtin Intel chipset of the separate Nvidia card).

I installed in back in april, never had an issue. However mine is a new machine started build in Sep and finished in april with a new ssd, so no way I was going to bother with out of date windows! I have also updated my laptops (this was waiting for releace though!) which are one from 2018 and one a lot of years old! All doing fine.

I suspect it may be a reasonably common thing for those businesses which use IT departments/contractors not to be up to date with windows update roll outs. In my own business experience, computer personnel were always adamant that this was the correct strategy

It is certainly a very wise precaution if multiple users have perhaps different computer hardware and any resulting downtime through update problems has a financial cost.

and this is at the heart of my issue. how can i know when the risk has gone down to an acceptable level to try it.

You could just leave it to Microsoft!

From what I have read, Microsoft are well aware that there will be some driver issues with certain computers, hence the slow roll out. I believe the theory is that if your setting gives control of the download process to Windows, rather than a user forcing the issue, then you will receive it when they think you are ready, i.e all driver issues have been resolved.

It is sat there in the update section waiting for me to click the download and install button. Its been there for a couple of weeks.
