[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Final Build 19041/2/3 (PC) [20H1/2 / 21H1 vb_release]

I have not tried dism to apply the update (but I did try manually from the msu)

What I tried: sfc and scan health show no errors. Also tried re-creating the SoftwareDistribution folder.

I'm stumped. Never had this error before. Guess I'll just wait and see till next Tuesday? should be the day of the non-preview CU.

What I was saying was to wait for the next CU that does arrive with a new SSU. I had to do this once last year where a CU would not install. After the next CU that arrived with a new SSU I was able to install without iussue.

Hello everyone! I have an old PC with an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz processor, a Geforce 96000 GSO video adapter and 8GB of RAM purchased at the end of 2009 with Windows 7 preinstalled. What do you think is this old computer compatible for Windows 10 20H2 upgrade? I read somewhere that Intel Core 2 Duo processors are not supported by Windows 10. I would like to know the opinion of a professional in this matter. Thank you in advance!

 

If the GFX is supported it should be able to run 10, when you start the 20H2 setup from the running current windows install, it should show incompatibilities if there are any.

 

Your post motivated me to go look in Event Viewer, and you are correct.

Code:

Installation Successful: Windows successfully installed the following update: 2021-02 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10, version 20H2 for x64 (KB4598299)

 

If your graphics card winds up not supported, search for

309.08-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe

This video driver will install and work under Windows 10, and supports many older Nvidia graphics cards.

You can install Windows 10 even if your video card is not supported, it will just give you the basic Microsoft display adapter, and you will be limited to 1024x768. But your computer will work well enough for you to install the Nvidia driver I listed above.

I just installed Windows 10 Enterprise, 19042.789, on an old Core 2 quad cpu earlier this week, so the Core 2 Duo should be good.

Mind you, the performance (even with the Quad cpu) was quite weak, and left a lot to be desired.

 

I have PC with E6750 Processor with Windows 10 20H2 - 19042.789. With 19042.685 I had problem - the screen didn't turn on, but not before.

Well technically, next Tuesday (2/9/2021) is patch Tuesday, so maybe there will be another SSU/LCU that works.

 

It's really too bad that all these builds have the "Snap,Crackling and Popping " from USB Audio interfaces ,RIP

 

Please be aware that KB4598299 has been expired by Microsoft.
Beyond experimenting, for any reliable machine people should only install those .NET Framework updates which are flagged as Security Updates and not only Updates.
The reasons have been discussed on the forum many times before and I am not revisiting them now.
For Windows 20H2, the latest one is KB4578968 from October 2020.

 

expired? it's a preview dotnetfx48 on catalog but it never got offered on my retail ring system, normally those preview dotnet CUs install automatically on my systems.

The many problems with some of the preview LCUs is known but not with the ones published on catalog, the ones from the IP rings yes, specifically with changing deltabuildnrs but the same kbnr.

 

Expired in WSUS which generally means they get retired from Windows Update.
@abbodi1406 has addressed the issue of the .NET updates few times and sometimes I was involved in those discussions.
Basically those designated only as Updates are promoted previews and tend to mess up with the supersedence, especially on older OS like 8.1/2012 R2.
See how Microsoft changed the supersedence rules sometime in December 2020 if I remember well for KB4578968 to make it required, which was not before.

 

There has been a large number - hundreds - of superseded updates expired in the last few days and I think they keep coming. Most are older CUs for various versions of Windows 10 up to and including June 2020 as far as I can tell. The odd one is this current Preview for .NET Framework which might be buggy.

The Catalog has the supersedence rules listed.
KB4578968 is not a pre-requisite, but is side-by-side with those designated as Updates.
It used to be superseded in the past, no longer after revision.
