Re: How do you abort the update?
Sorry Bob, but that's just untrue.
None of Microsoft's update/upgrade tools have EVER done anything more than a cursory check of the CPU and RAM before ploughing an upgrade.
They stop with a nasty error code and sometimes neither want to go back or forward.
Oh and OEM support is just terrible; I'm sat here with a 2015 Acer that's had zero meaningful driver updates since build 10240. WiFi and Gfx particularly have been a major bugbear.
