Windows 10 May 2019 Manual Upgrade – 1903

We have waited a bit for the official release of the May 2019 Windows 10 upgrade version 1903!

It is still not automatically upgrading on many computers as Microsoft is rolling it out in stages to test it. However, if you want to upgrade now we show you how to do this manually in this video. You should be able to keep all apps, applications and your data!

This may be the last Windows 10 version that comes with automatic upgrades – in future it may be a prompt that the user needs to click to upgrade to the newer version. However, security and normal updates should be downloaded and installled like previous versions.

This video also shows you how to go back to your previous version if the upgrade causing any issues. However please be aware that to go back it is time limited (about 10 days).

This video also has a link to a way that should allow you to extend the goi-back time limit.

67. 00:03:42:59 / 00:03:52:62 - automatic windows 10 upgrade ok it might
68. 00:03:48:43 / 00:03:53:89 - be something similar to Windows 7 when
69. 00:03:52:62 / 00:03:56:43 - they were trying to upgrade it to
70. 00:03:53:88 / 00:03:58:20 - Windows 10 or Windows 8 where you would
