When Windows Update ... Doesn't?

There's patience and there's patience, but sometimes enough is enough!

I'd waited for months to get the latest feature update for Windows 10. Windows Update never decided I was ready. Or worthy. Or whatever.

Fortunately, it's possible to force the issue.

How Do I Force the Latest Windows Feature Update? has the details.

Also this week:

  • So many ways to use OneDrive!
  • Upgrading Home to Pro? Easy, but there's a catch.
  • I say it all the time, here's one way: creating an image backup.

As always, links below.
