Ways to download and install Windows in October 1903

To install Windows in October 1903 May 2019 Update, you can use the following, familiar from previous updates, components, methods:

1. Use Windows Update 10 (Options - Updates & Security - Windows Update - Check for Updates). Note that in the center of a new version of the update may not appear immediately, but after a certain period of time.
2. Download the upgrade tool from the official Microsoft website. Https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/software-download/windows10 on the page when you open it with Windows-based systems, you'll see two buttons: "Update Now" and "Download tool now." They load various utilities, but both allow the upgrade.

   

3. The first utility loads the Upgrade Advisor, which checks the compatibility issues and offers quick and easy to update to a newer version.

   

4. The second tool - many familiar Installation Media Creation Tool. It can be used to update and download the ISO image, or automatically create a bootable flash drive Windows 10.

   

5. If you open the above page is not from a Windows computer, or use a browser other device emulation (and then refresh the page), you can directly download the original ISO image of Windows 10 May 2019 Update. Details about this method in the article How to Download Windows 10 ISO (second method).

   

6. The downloaded ISO image can be used to create a bootable installation drive for a clean installation of Windows 10, or simply run setup.exe from this image - in this case will be upgraded.

This is something that concerns completely official way to download.

Others should also work, such as the direct download in Rufus program (see. How to download ISO Windows 10 Rufus). On this program the time of writing the image version of the 1903 is not available, but I think it will be added today.

Possible problems when installing updates

To predict exactly which problems will be distributed when installing this particular Windows 10 update, I do not take, but first of all pay attention to the following points:

• New Windows 10 requires more space on the system section of the hard disk. Ideally have more than 30 GB free so that everything goes without problems.
• Updates Windows 10 components in the presence of third-party antiviruses or firewalls often lead to the fact that after successfully installing the update, the Internet ceases to work (or works with limitations). The recommended solution is to remove the protective software before the start of the update, and then, if necessary, set it again.

Before starting the update installation, the official utility "Upgrade to Windows 10" utility conducts an analysis of the current configuration and can also report on the problems found that may interfere with the installation of the new version of the system.

And, just in case: I do not recommend novice users to hurry with the installation of the May update, it is worth waiting for which news will appear in the coming days and weeks and does not cause a new version of any problems.
