I have two laptops with Win10 Pro, one with version 1809 and the other with 1909.

I upgraded the 1909 with the file Windows10Upgrade9252.exe like 6 weeks ago. With the occurring news about problems with the 2004 upgrade, I wanted to at least switch to 1909 with the second one. Sites like cnet.com state that 1809 patches just ended for end users. And I missed to upgrade one laptop before 2004 was made publicly available.

So while copying Windows10Upgrade9252.exe on my stick I discovered I have the same file already there - dating on april 2018 with a different file size.

Now my question is:

  • Does this file Windows10Upgrade9252.exe always tries to install the latest upgrade available or the one it was meant to while downloading the file?
  • Put otherway round: Can I use my Windows10Upgrade9252.exe from early May 2020 to get the 1909 upgrade while avoiding the 2004 upgrade?

My hidden goal is to get the "last but one" upgrade.
This question about a specific iso points to https://tb.rg-adguard.net/ - does that fulfill my hidden goal as well = I just need to get it installed from an USB with that 1909 iso on it? (As I do not iso installs that often I want to add: the currently installed programs need to stay installed, the licence kept etc. ...)

It is not a full answer, the technically unclear/leftover part of my question is: How come it is a different file size when the name indicates the upgrade version?

User Ramhound commented that the tool gets an update with any upgrade - and the file name as well.

That implies that the same tool name should perform the same Windows Upgrade.

The main goal "install a specific Windows Upgrade version" however can be achieved with downloading an ISO, mount it and be fine. see answer in related question
