    I know, don't know why it's so complicated lol, I thought the build linked to in this thread had less bloatware/advantages/tweaks? Could someone confirm what I asked above?

    W10 will auto update and the stuff Enthousiast linked has no benefit said KK? Pls someone just clarify :hypo:

    Thank you. I found that I already had a bootable USB from upgrading my laptop a few years back! It will be an older version update of W10, but I can just use that and it'll apply any updates once it's up and running right? The laptop is running W10 pro so should be the same version.

    Use a version of Windows 10 years ago? This is not a good idea at all.
    Why don't you want to install right now what you really need and what's up to date?

    If the build is not supported anymore and your system is connected, the upgrade should ask you if you want to download the latest supported build before it opens the OOBE settings, best to directly use a supported build for the upgrade.
