Question

Best windows 10 64 bit version Supporting Creative Cloud - new PC Build May 2019

Can anyone give me experience of using the latest Windows 1903 version using Creative Cloud Apps, in particular Premiere Pro latest version 2019 and AME 2019 version.

I am about to build my new i9 based machine and wonder which one to go for - 1803 / 1809 or latest 1903. I am using NVidia Creative Driver version on my GTX 1070.

I know this is a bit of a big question (so many factors involved)  - but a general consensus would be useful

Thanks

    I have used 1903 without problems since it was released with CC apps including Premiere Pro CC2019 and AME CC2019.

    If you opt for 1803 or 1809 the computer will be updated to 1903 pretty soon anyway. The best is to start with a fresh install of 1903.

    like Averdahl mentioned, win 10 is now a software as a service ( SAS), and you have no control over getting updates from Microsoft.

    Eventually, at some point, when you go to shut down your computer or when you boot it ( start it ), you will see a notice from Microsoft that says, " Your computer is now being updated. Do not turn off your computer. "

    So you might as well start with the newest version.  Lot's of companies like to shove stuff down your throat, whether you want it or not.. it's the new normal.

    Odd as it sounds, this leads to a couple of options, sorta.

    For one thing, if you install Windows 10 and get it updated to the point you like it ( everything works as desired ), the ONLY way to keep it from updating anymore is to disconnect the cable to your router... which means no internet.

    So, let's say you want your editing computer to be disconnected, because that way you don't get interrupted while working on editing .. no programs are taking over your computer and updating things right in the middle of doing a job... (updating often requires a 'shut down and restart' to complete the process )… So you're kinda like stuck staring at your computer as it updates.  And if there's a 'client' in the house, you might as well tell them to go away, maybe call later and see if you can go back to work ?

    This solution of no internet to stop MS ( and NVidia, and Adobe update notices), unfortunately, is not an option with CC, because your license to use the product on a subscription is checked by Adobe via the internet.  If that check happens to happen when you are not connected to internet you'll have some problems using the programs.  So if you use CC you pretty much have to be connected to the internet most of the time, in my opinion.

    My guess it's a hit and miss kind of thing where you have no real control over it.

    My own choice has been to NOT be connected to internet with editor, and NOT use CC.
