Much bad new about win 10 upgrade?

To add, nothing was deleted in my Documents folder.

My desktop PC's upgraded without issue, well, apart from having to upgrade to the latest beta drivers for my 1st gen focusrite scarlett 6i6 & 18i20, and the usual XLN re-authorisation.
 
My laptop however, refuses to upgrade. It goes all the way to the end, I restart, it gets to 9% then does a rollback. That's both using Windows update (for which 1809 no longer appears), and using the Windows Upgrade Assistant.
 
What gets me, is that it doesn't give me any indication as to why it rolled back.
 
I guess it's time to do a fresh install at some point, but it'll have to wait... 

I seem to recall reading about this (not necessarily your issue) in the forums yesterday, that even Microsoft will not upgrade certain pcs if it finds certain things (I didn't read carefully), I think one is an Intel issue, because it knows it will trash the pc. So maybe it encounters one of those issues and then quits and just rollsback? Just a thought, I really have no idea...

V1809, Build 17763.1 has been pulled by MS.  No specific reason but the problem some are having with deleted files may be one reason.  I've had 17763.1 for over a week as I get the advanced "Insider" versions and didn't have problems with it either.  Not sure of what circumstance(s) cause the problems.  
 
But, I'll repeat the suggestion (really should be mandatory) to make a full drive (all partitions) image backup to a separate drive BEFORE doing any major update such as this.  The free (and most popular on computer forums I visit) Macrium Reflect or some other imaging program should be used to make the disc image.  DO NOT use the built in Windows backup as its incomplete and does not do a full backup.

Thanks, as usual, for your helpful advice. I'm going to do this Macrium thing soon (I've already bought a large external HD) and try to get back in the game. I thought by going offline, all would be fine and it is but, for me, it's no fun. When I mix, I like to enjoy doing it slow and taking time each day to watch groove 3 tutorials or search the forums and try to learn new things and advance my skills. Now, with no internet connection, I haven't recorded in 6 months. It's no fun, no learning, no GAS, no new plugins to try. It's like a school assignment. So instead, I write music and am in the most prolific time of my life. I use TRackS to have fun with live recordings thru a Zoom camera. But I want to begin recording by Christmas as a present to me, that means finishing a lot of old projects, then making the macrium reflection, whatever that is (I am not into tech anymore, I have terminal cancer and there is a limit to what I'm going to waste my time with), then upgrading to Pro (how will that go? As soon as I go online, Microsoft will trash my pc within minutes, guaranteed), turning off updates and then enjoy life once again. I will also try to rejuvenate my pcs killed within hours of one another by last years Fall update (both Win 7). But what about all the people out there who are just people and know nothing about pcs? They work, they play, they raise families. They know nothing about Acronis, Macrium or Clonezilla. And Microsoft kills their pcs so they have to buy a new one and Microsoft makes money. They (Microsoft) trash their pcs as a business model and pollute the environment with discarded refuge. It's disgusting to me.
