But the wait-and-see warnings ring just as true now as they did in Victorian Windows days.ĭon’t take my word for it. Back in the Steampunk days of Win7 and earlier, the general advice was to “wait for Service Pack 1.” Unfortunately, there’s no analog with Win10, which ships new versions as substitutes for service packs.
Microsoft’s inability to ship stable new versions is a genetic and predictable flaw. And make no mistake, Win10 1903 is a completely new version that will replace just about every Windows program file. Microsoft has a horrible record when it comes to new versions of Windows.

And we probably won’t know much until we see the forced 1803-to-1903 upgrades in action. There are no further details about the imminent demise of Version 1803, or whether the forced upgrades will obey the new genteel-upgrade rules. Which sounds like the usual marketing malarkey to me. We are starting this machine learning (ML)-based rollout process several months in advance of the end-of-service date to provide adequate time for a smooth update process.”
