Windows 10 End of Support - October 14

[Wainuitech]

Thanks for trying--  But no can do. The VM was deleted, loading the Clone of the original, which wanted to upgrade to 25.04. Still waiting. Might have to leave it 4 + weeks to see if history repeats

Edited: this is going to be fun - 2nd picture.

Were you running an upgraded version before?
I must admit, I have not used the upgrade feature much, the last time I used it (many years ago) I ran into some problems.

So I wonder if that could be the source of your issues... 
I'd have thought the upgrade process would be more reliable by now, and probably should be, but... who knows.

Did you have any errors or problems running an upgrade previously, on the install that had updater problems?

Honestly, cant remember if it was an upgrade or not. BUT since it was a Clone ( VMWare Workstation Pro gives the option to clone a Current VM) I suspect the original was an earlier version. This upgrade appears to have gone fine. It feels quicker than the previous Version, and it didn't break the network-linked folders like others have.

Any others that have caused problems in the past 99% of all issues were when updating a large number of files 4+ weeks at least, or upgrading from one version to another. These were on separate Computers, not VMs.

Guess I'll have to leave it 4 + Weeks and see what happens ( i'll let ya know )

The main reason for selecting Kubuntu is the networking is very close to how Windows does it, AND its easier to share files as well on Kubuntu - this is in case ( or when) customers ask about what version of Linux I would use.
MANY of my customers, file sharing is important, and anything that's easier is better. Mention editing config files and it's out the door, forget it. Need something easy.
That's one thing I like about ZimaOS (a NAS), file sharing, password-protected, is as simple as falling off a log, and remote access ( haven't tried it yet, but it looks easy if it works).
