I shall stay with Win 10 Pro 

Thanks for all the responses.

I think ‘image’ might be best for me (I ‘local backup’ to image each week using Acronis) … no hardware to buy … and I’m still not sure whether I have a ‘sata/ssd , so have to ‘open and visually’ check inside the laptop , just to be sure before purchase.

Will give it more thought … many thanks

Not sure why I have 32-bit Office installed ; it has been a while since I installed it. And no easy way to go to 64-bit now.

Re the security updates , I see no alternative to keeping Office updates disabled , as the August update would just reinstall alongside the security updates. An update issue for for resolution in the future. And I guess that Office 2021 will have the same issues that I find problematic with the Office 2019 UI.

As you suggest , I will roll back to v2305.

Thank you .. once I roll-back or reinstall from an image , I think my Office 2019 will not be updated (ever) beyond the July update

Thanks for the info .. I will run the command as soon as I have time

I think you are wrong, and would suggest you read and follow the guide given by Susan in ‘Tasks for the weekend May 1, 2021 – How to remove IE

When I followed her instructions, my computer had a ‘button’ which said ‘Uninstall’.

 

Win10 – 20H2
Just uninstalled IE11, and Outlook 2016 was then unable to open links in emails.
Reinstalled IE11 and problem was resolved.

.. and what do you use in place of outlook?

Thanks for your advice.

If ‘check for update’ was used , and the laptop was ‘not yet ready’ for v2004 , would it update to v1909?

My mistake .. so ..

Re:  Laptop already factory reset to v1709 .. no data to save.

What is the  easiest  way to update to v2004?

Can auto-update manage the update?

The person who will have to update the laptop wuold not manage going to v1909 (which I do run on my laptop) 

Thanks .. have hidden the update using wushowhide

I have iTunes installed, and use an old iPhone 4s (as #2 phone for several years).

But why would the update appear now?
