Manual flash update, no wipe

If anyone is having issues with the flash all.bat like I did and gets stuck on the white google splash screen (maybe because I didn't disable overlays, idk..), manually flashing did the trick for me and didn't wipe data.

Extract all the img's and flash the following in fastboot:

There's only 8 img files you can flash:

bootloader

radio

boot

dtbo

product

system

vbmeta

vendor

After a reboot I was up and running with the nov update. Exact steps below... you can flash straight from the factory image folder after everything's extracted.
