Hi,
due to the near end of support of Windows 1809 I need to install Windows 1909 on my Minix Z83-4.
First question: is this possible at all?
Here is what I have expirienced so far.
I tried to install Windows 10 Feature Update (-> 1909) using the Windows Update mechanism but failed:
while downloading the update files, Windows complained that the internal storage had not enough free space (was ~8GB). However, Windows update offered to use an external storage for storing the update files. So I inserted a fresh USB stick (128 GB) into the USB 3.0 port. That seemed to work: Windows update continued downloading files and after finishing asked to reboot. After Reboot, the update started, but the progress bar was fixed at 0% for a couple of houres. So I deciede to let the system untouched for a whole night and the next morning I was welcomed by my desktop: no update had been installed, Windows still had version 1809. Fortunately, the Minix wasn't bricked by a failed OS update!
Have I done something wrong? Do I have to do the update completely different? Or am I doomed to stay with 1809?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
