Windows 10 1709 don't install Windows Update

I have a Windows 10 machine.
It is a old Windows 10 Build. The build is 1709.
In the past this machine did have Internet access, not this host can surf on Internet.

I would install Windows Update to improve security of this PC, but they fails.
The error message is:
Your device is at risk because it's out of date and missing important security and quality updates. Let's get you back on track so Windows can run more securely.

Hi,

If you use Media Creation Tool, you could upgrade from version 1709 to version 2004 directly.

By the way, the latest version is 20H2 update, you could see the change in the following official link:

Hi,

Version 1709 is too old, it lacks critical security and quality updates.
The fastest way to get the upgrade is through Media creation tool or ISO file.
Please download Media Creation Tool from the link below and select Upgrade this PC at the first screen:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
choose Download Tool Now, then open the tool and choose Upgrade This PC Now. This saves your files, apps and most settings in place, is the most stable method to change versions, brings your Updates current, resolves most problems.

Hope above information can help you.

Hello,

As you might know, V1709 already reached end of service. Read more here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/status-windows-10-1709?WT.mc_id=WD-MVP-5000693

I recommend you to upgrade to latest version i.e. V2004 via ISO file.

Refer this step-by-step guide:

Thanks so much!
