Alway been that way for me since I can remember. Always install new systems without network interference. Update after the install is complete. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM.
X64 is for processors made by Intel Corporation and an ARM processor is one of a family of CPUs based on the RISC (reduced instruction set computer) architecture developed by Advanced RISC Machines.
Don't think all is fake because most is fake Maybe they were planning to release .253 instead of the internal corpnet published .252. I would not waste the time nor energy to speculate about this very trivial stuff.
You may be right. A few article floating around suggest "Registered testers will basically already know the present build with the number 22000.253, because it differs only marginally from the last Insider editions 22000.194". More than likely an update this week or the next will see it upgraded to 22000.25X.
I was able to proceed with the installation without any errors using Universal MediaCreationTool wrapper. Reflect drivers method for Veracrypt driver worked for upgrade on both machines
Updated from Win10 20H1 (just to make sure it's all activated properly on acct., saw some stories of deactivation), had to use the assistant as I didn't had TPM enabled and Win Update wouldn't acknowledge that the PC was compliant after I enabled it in BIOS, all good afterwards, minor quirks with some drivers getting older versions installed and some apps, other than that, I'm wondering if it's worth my time performing a clean install as I usually do. I probably will anyway.
I did a clean install. It removes the likelyhood of any "problems" that can occur during an upgrade, especially with this new version. Clean install also gives you a chance to clean out the ol computer, work out what you dont use anymore.
