Ive been trying to use Xbox Game Pass for PC.  In order to Install the app, I need 1903 May 2019 update.  But sadly,it tells me the update isnt ready for my device.  Acer isnt listed on their site as product manufacturers that support it.  Does anyone have verification is the Predator Helios 300 is compatible with this update or not?

    Yes, it is compatible. I am using it on my G3-572. I installed it using ISO.

    Try this: Use Media Creation tool to download Windows 10 ISO. Later, disconnect everything from your PC other than the power cord. Also disconnect from the internet and then install Windows 10 using the ISO. It will install fine. I've been doing this since Windows 10 1709.

    KineticBongos if you arent having issues with the build you have now i suggest you stick to it and only upgrade when you have any serious issues i myself still on 1809 and not moving up unless any serious issue arise :) i know that gamepass requires 1903 thast why im not getting it plus all the games that they have there i have them all on origin/uplay/bethesda/epicgames/steam/blizzard etc apart from the MS exclusive ones to me its not worth it at all but if its worth to you go ahead :)
