It's a NVME.
OK. I will try another install and follow it more closely. This is the 
first time ever I have had trouble with an update.
I have 50 Mb/s download speed, but with windows updates it often looks 
like the update server can't deliver full speed, and even takes breaks.
I have a weekly full backup running, with updates each day of the week, 
so no big disaster if the install crashes.

Thanks for the replies.
