Guys my laptop fails to upgrade to v1903. Currently it is running at v1803. Is it still not advisable to upgrade to the latest of Windows OS? Please advice. TIA

    Make a recovery drive right now if you are on Acer's stock Windows 10. You can clone your current setu to other drive as well.

    If you really need 1903, download the ISO using Media Creation Tool. Use it to install Windows 10 but disconnect from the internet when you start the setup.

    In this case, I would recommend let windows install 1903 via its update. But ensure you have an image created and backed up by then.

    BONGTUBALINAL yes the best its always to clone your drive into another as backup if possible to be able to restore it to stock at a later time if needed :)
