Wow, again forcing people to upgrade... I don't like using ISO files for installing Windows. I've always used disks, so to me, this isn't nice at all.

You can't upgrade those versions of Windows. It doesn't work like that, sadly. You have to basically completely reinstall Windows using a later version.

I have had to do this twice now. Microsoft broke the two versions I was using and there was no other way.

You should be on the latest version of the OS anyway. You don't need ISO files to upgrade.

Considering it's just the latest update is this REALLY that big of a deal ?

Nope. You're already on W10, why not get the latest?

Is it as simple as just installing the Windows update? Or do you need to completely reinstall your Windows?

If you are already on Windows 10 then it's just an update, Kind of like a service pack.

Yup, I am on Windows 10 Pro. Thought you had to reinstall entire Windows, by an USB stick, kinda like an disk.

But good that's it's basically just an update.

The reason it's being made into an issue is because people are claiming that the creators update is blowing up their PC's, Damaging their hardware, Frying their graphics cards etc...... XD
