    I'm trying to install an app that asks for 4.7 Framework, but when i download it it doesnt install i'm getting this messages. Im guessing it has something to do with my old 10240 build which i dont want to upgrade by the way. So is there any way to force its installation on my system

    Afaik, windows 10 build 10240 only support till .NET 4.6.2.
    You must upgrade windows build minimal to v1607 (build 14393) to enable instal .NET 4.7 or 4.8.

    Run the setup.exe from a supported build mounted iso.

    So if i mount the latest 1909 i can install over this without any problems? I remember a huge snafu at some point something about losing user files and libraries

    I really dont want to mess this up

    The occasional deletion of personal files when upgrading was with 17763.1 (1809).

    Just installed it. Besides missing some entries on the start menu i dont see anything midplaces.

    Laptop fans started spinning nonstop though, is it really that much heavy on the system

    please use minimum windows 10 1607 if possible because application created for windows 10 need intelligent Dpi ( first version with this fonction are windows 10 1607 )

    photoshop 2020 with 2019 setup works only with windows 10 1607 , old version not workings because missing kernel fonctions ( screen related )

    you can test install photoshop 2020 with windows 8 compatibility on 1507 fails on 1607 works !
