Support of version 1507 ended on May 9, 2017.
As of August 2, 2016, the Threshold 1 release is the only available release in Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB). The final release was made available to Windows Insiders on July 15, 2015, followed by a public release on July 29, 2015. It has been retroactively named "version 1507" by Microsoft per its naming conventions for future stable releases of the operating system. It carries the build number 0 while Microsoft has stated that there was no designated "RTM" build of Windows 10, 10240 has been described as an RTM build by various media outlets. Windows 10 Version 1507 (build 0), codenamed " Threshold 1", is the first release of Windows 10.
1.5 Version 1709 (Fall Creators Update). It also does a great job of actually walking you through the entire process. The screen shots alone of what you'll be seeing as you use the ISO file to update are worth their weight in gold. Ladnor, definitely take a look at the page I just linked to. It has been mentioned, many times, on these forums that the Windows 10 bootable media can be used to do an update to a new version of Windows 10, not a full reinstallation from scratch, when there are issues causing Windows Update to get stuck with an update to a new version.Īs is shown clearly on this Microsoft Community page on updating using the ISO, if one already has Windows 10 installed an option, which is chosen by default when running the ISO, is to "Keep personal files and apps", (emphasis mine), which is an update in place, not a full reinstall. It is entirely possible to simply update/upgrade using the ISO, and that is what is being proposed. No one is advising this user to reinstall Windows 10. There is absolutely no need for a new installation. Most machines, where there is no problem with Windows Update, go from Anniversary Update (Version 1607) to Creators Update (Version 1703) via the normal Windows Update mechanism. You are completely incorrect with regard to Windows Update.
