    Hi alitaqvi and Mr_Trust_A 

     

    While the Windows Update Assistant tool is definitely the easiest way to upgrade a machine using a USB key the drawback is that it can only be used for the latest OS releases. If I understand correctly you want to move to Windows 1903. In this case the Upgrade Assistant will not offer you this version. 

    Do you allow your machines to go to Windows Update? If yes you can then try with policy: 

    Select the target Feature Update version

     

    More info: 

     

    When you set the target version policy, if you specify a feature update version that is older than your current version or set a value that isn't valid, the device will not receive any feature updates until the policy is updated. When you specify target version policy, feature update deferrals will not be in effect.
