Thank you for that information Sumit. Can you enlighten us further regarding the reason(s) they have pulled the download, and their intentions in the short-term?
Apparently I will need min. 16GB RAM for Win 12 perhaps even 32 GB RAM.

Thanks for your speedy response Sumit. Have you repeated this at the top of the Insiders Update forum? Because many people there are directed to the Windows 10 October Update because of problems.

TKS

What a complete mess Microsoft makes of these upgrades. Time to move past Windows to a OS way more stable and less frequently upgraded.

Oops, I've installed it. Twice. Rolled back once because of the Store app access issue (fixed after second install by Network Reset).  But now I find that OneDrive is borked when in normal fully synced mode (i.e. no Files on Demand). Nothing syncs and files can't be deleted, the Delete key is ignored in File Explorer. FoD seems OK but is not what I want.

So I'll roll back again.

No mention of this on the Feedback Hub which would have been nice.

So i've already installed a completely fresh install of the new 1809 Version since i got myself a SSD. 
Am i fine then or should i update again whenever you release the new stuff ? 

I don't encounter any issues since its a fresh install and didn't loose any data i backed up.

I updated my HP Spectre x360 to the October 2018 version but had different issues.  Scrolling on my touchpad only worked intermittently for some sites in Edge and in some apps.  The cursor would just disappear and I could not scroll down the page.  I did not have the pictures issue but some of my picture files were converted to strange files and there were a few downloads in my pictures files.  I reverted back to version 1803 and will await the fixes before installing the 1809 version.
