in place upgrade buggy?
hi, I tried an in place upgrade on my device but got a message stating: You can't keep Windows settings, personal files and apps your current version of Windows might be installed in an unsupported directory. Tried some method of fix but to no avail. Anyone facing the issue? I have read from here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/windows-10-repair-upgrade-not-working/4551adb8-0f07-4ec5-ace0-00c59a8b11be that it could be a bug. Can someone confirm or let Microsoft know? By the way, for my other post, https://community.windows.com/en-us/conversations/in-place-upgrade-of-win-10-vs-re-installation-of-win-10/98cba04d-f266-4f43-b6e9-a3a734dac0c8 it shows 3 responses, but when I went to see all conversations, it only state 2. Bug there?
Tips and tricks: Network drives and computers
Instead of mapping network drives, create desktop shortcuts to folders from another computers on the network. Then, double-click a shortcut to folder and you'll be able to access a folder from another computer on the network. To access another computer on the network, open the Network folder, and then drag a computer to the desktop. The shortcut is then created to the desktop. Double-clicking a shortcut to a network computer will open in a window. Sometimes, you'll be prompted for credentials from another user. You can send files or folders to a folder from your computer to another computer on the network. To do this: 1. Press WINDOWS LOGO + R. 2. Type "shell:sendto" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. 3. Access the folder from another computer on the network in the Network folder. 4. Hold down ALT and drag the folder to the SendTo window. A shortcut will be created. Now, whenever you right-click a file, point to Send to, and then click a folder that is from another computer on the network, another user will receive it.
New computer?
My computer is about 8 yrs old. Should I get a new one before getting Windows 10? Support for my current version of Windows has expired. Thank you.
I can't update my computer
I keep getting: "2020-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64-based Systems (KB4551762) - Error 0x80070002", when updating. I have retried a dozen times, and get the same thing. I have deleted all the content of the Download folder in the software distribution folder in Windows, but this does not help. The Troubleshooter does not find anything wrong. Does anyone know how I can fix this, or do I need to reset Windows?
see which apps are affecting your battery life
I have few things to ask. Under see which apps are affecting your battery life and under Windows Explorer, the percentage goes up even while not using it. It is still going up. How to get it to go down while not in use? The percentage for Edge will go down when not in use. Windows Explorer did go down 1% from 21% to 20% but went back up 1% to 21% (when Windows Explorer is not in use). So, what does that mean and what fixes are there?

Things not working right? Who can help? Microsoft Support
I was noticing some problem's with my account. Tried to fix the problem's myself however, this proved to be unsuccessful. Decided my problems needed expert advice and chose to ask for Microsoft Support. Amazed, (and relieved) to discover a team of professional's are there to help with any and all concerns you may encounter... Microsoft Support. Once you contact them, and type-in your concern, you're assigned a case number and a team member to address your concern. They keep you abreast of their progress with e-mail's to you. Most concern's are fixed for you within a matter of day's. One concern I had took roughly a month however, every concern I encountered was not only fixed but relayed professionally to ensure I understood. I had a couple that even threw the team for a loop and was informed they would address these at team meeting's to make Microsoft even better for all Microsoft user's. Personally, I extend accolades and kudos to all at Microsoft for helping end user's understand that there is an avenue to utilize that will help with any and all concern's toward making Microsoft Windows even more user friendly.

FIRST THING FIRST, BEFORE AN UPDATE
To AVOID ISSUE/s (software) after an Update, specially in Patch Tuesday or The Monthly Update. Run Command Prompt as Administration EXECUTE THE OLD COMMAND/s or SYNTAX -->SFC /SCANNOW (This is to REPAIR/FIX any corrupted/missing files in your system. -->DISM /Online /CleanUp-Image /ScanHealth --> DISM /Online /cleanUp-Image /RestoreHealth **** The DISM command/syntax itself tells what it can do to your system. **** Always KEEP AN EYE on EVERY result of each command/syntax, & if EVERYTHING is fixed.
