This is purely a grump. I can't do anything else at present in my Windoze VM box, so I'm typing something here to keep me occupied.... Installed Windows 10 from our MS subscription package download in a box, as up-to-date as MS supplies it. I have now spent coming up for two days while it fetches more updates, upgrades, reboots, fetches more updates, upgrades.... One of them took hours. I'm now on yet another one, and it's only 8% through, and says "Your PC will restart several times". So probably more hours of no work.... I mean, what is it actually doing that takes so long? Does this update change every file on disk?? I know there's not much to say, but really .... :( :(

@ JonB said in Windoze updates : I can't move its storage to SSD! Just to confirm: Is the physical storage medium a spinning hard drive? If so, that's definitely your main bottleneck. Doesn't matter how good your CPU/RAM/motherboard/networking is. @ Kent-Dorfman said in Windoze updates : IIRC, I once read an EULA from M$ that forbid the running of windoze in a VM Do you have a source for that? Microsoft provides tidy VM bundles for developers who want to use Windows under a hypervisor of their choice: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/

I'm lost! If it formatted the HD where would it have put everything which was originally there while it did it?!

If there is developer mode enabled with windows insider program Then you will get updates regularly and takes much time too.
Before I hadn't enabled developer mode and not joined windoz😆 insider The updates takes much less time. And updates use to come slower than now
