Why don't you want to try an inplace upgrade? All it does it replaces windows, leaves everything else how it was. Files/settings should stay as is.

It removes all the cumulative updates since 1909 was released, and well, since they cumulative, you don't have to dl them all again, just the last ones. '

thank you for this but i did for sniffing around and found a lot of people are having this exact issue, some of them even tried in place upgrade but they reported same results/error still not solved

i think i should sit on it and wait
