I only have Windows 7 installed on an old computer. Can I download the new free media creation tool and then make the updated usb stick? If the issues with the 2018 update have been resolved, perhaps buy the usb stick version?
It is the same.
If you download the MediaCreation tool today, and make your own USB...it is whatever is current from MS. The 1803 release.
Have the "issues" been fixed? There are "issues" with every single OS release, from everyone who makes an OS.
Since the very first OS was ever released.
Microsoft, Apple, Linux, Unix, BeOS, CP/M, DOS, whatever...all of them.
The vast majority of systems experience no "issues" at all. None.
All of my systems (including the Win 10 VM's) except 2 are updated to the very latest Win 10. Zero issues.
