    When I got my AW17r3 last December all I could get was an old W10 install that needed a bunch of updating. I had to reinstall today and pleased it's v1809 so I am pretty much ip to date.

    Would you like me to give you the direct download link for the official and latest Windows 10 ISO for your model? Or perhaps you can wait until next month as there is a major upgrade coming in the next 2-3 weeks.

    Just tell me if your laptop came with Windows 10 Home or Pro and can hook you up to save you the hassle of updating. I have direct download links from the Dell Servers [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Nope, I installed it for testing on my Dell Vostro just to see what it has out of the box. It's no different than a standard Windows ISO but it has the Dell SupportAssist, Dell Update, and Dell Digital Delivery out of the box.

    Fetching you the link right now...standby...

    Thanks for the files. Why is it I had to boot into safe mode to delete the files once I was finished with them?

    What files? the ISO is a single file and so is RUFUS to create the USB Flash disk

    Just the iso. Any time I tried to delete it would say a program was using the file.

    That happens if some program was using it. You'd have to ensure that you did exit Rufus perhaps.

    anyway, if you've deleted it now you're good.
