I did manage to upgrade to the Fall Creators Update in December - I was unable to successfully do the previous Creators update due to the driver issue with Broadcom 440x. The older Creators update installed, but both the wired and wireless network ceased to function. I updated by turning off the Wifi switch and I used the Ethernet cable only during the update process.

I used the April 2016 installer from MSDN, 32 bit. Then a couple weeks later I installed the Win 10 Anniversary update on both old Dell computers. No problems at all. Of course I backed each up using Acronis first. I always recommend that.Kirk Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196946760222412036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740550564148120237.post-49232870519043373432016-01-25T16:30:57.292-08:002016-01-25T16:30:57.292-08:00Thank you so much!
