Your solution same my life 🙂
I had Windows 10 installed recently from the BOX package over old Windows 7 with OEM license. Everything got OK, but realized, this was quite old production and old Win10 release. I used your link and ... it let my Windows installation to get the latest update (last quality and features update meant for Windows 10. Then I got additionally 2 cumulative updates and that's was. Now I'm told to be up to date and will get in the future only security updates 🙂 I lost some licenses for apps in the process but it was not a problem to reactivate them. In the future I will may be able to install Win11. If Microsoft accepts my i7-6700 processor and I install the TPM 2.0 module on my mobo, which is the simpliest thing from all 🙂 For sure I will not buy a new PC, because my current one is running like a hell (even being 5 years old but upgraded with SSD and new graphic card).
Thanks a lot for your hint. It was a real hit 🙂

The Update Assistant can help you update to the latest version of Windows 10. To get started, click Update now.- DeletedSep 17, 2023I suggest using the "Media Creation Tool", either way it will get to the latest version and fix any corrupted files.
