    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4517245/feature-update-via-windows-10-version-1909-enablement-package

    Servicing: (Previous Windows 10 -> Newer Version of Windows 10)

Just so I fully understand you,  all previous version before 1903 must be upgraded using the setup.exe method to get to 1909?
