    Every time I upgrade Windows 10 via media creation tool without any problems. However last upgrade from 20H1 to 20H2 don't allow me to keep my personal files and apps. Only options Nothing is allowed and other options is grayed out. I also try via USB muount with rufus but same result,
    Please is there solutions for this. Thanks.

    Are you sure your current version is OK?

    How can I be sure... On every half-year upgrade I always worked like this and there was never a problem until now. I also tired sfc scannow and DISM RestoreHealth but result is the same.

    Since 20H2 is just another small update from 20H1, install this and you will be on 20H2 in a minute:

    So check winver and if it shows 2004 / 20H1 and you have 19041.3xx+, this update will upgrade you to 20H2, download and just run the MSU.

    I know...thanks, but it still remains unclear to me why it can’t as I described earlier, and what when it comes 21H1, 21H2...

    There is nothing unclear about your current Windows being damaged, it is damaged, but it is not found by sfc and Dism.
    In all likelihood, the registry is damaged and you can only repair it if you have a clean copy of the original Windows registry. Otherwise, backup your files and do a clean installation, because you have to do it soon anyway.

    20H1 > 20H2 by MCT should offer all options...it should but it is not the case.
    Anyway, thanks.

    How about if I run 19042.572 then upgrade to same 19042.572 just to refresh the installation? Does it work?

    Did you try this: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-10-20h2-upgrade.82557/#post-1625506

    I showed you yesterday that inplace upgrades 19042.572 > 19042.572 still don't work.

    He could do an inplace upgrade to 19041.572 to refresh the install or what i showed in my first reply, just install the 20H2 EP.
