I just bought this machine a few months ago. ;)

I went into Windows setting and clicked "check for updates", but it indicates I'm "up to date". There doesn't seem to be any notification or push to update to the version 20H2 you are conversing about. I'm currently using Win 10 Pro.

I did get it via Windows Update, but here is a link that also shows how to install it manually if it is not showing up in Windows Update:

Thanks. But, you must think I'm a glutton for punishment. ;)

And i thought you hadn't figured me out yet ;)

On a serious note, if the update is not showing up when you search for Windows updates, then it may not be compatible with your computer yet. But the update was released 5+ month ago, so shouldn't it be compatible with most computers about now?

Anyway, personally if it was me i would probably install it the manual way, and just accept that issues may happen that i would have to deal with. But i can understand that you may not see it that way.

My experience with windows updates (at least major ones) hasn't been good. I'll wait for a bit and get to it - if I have to. In fact, well in advance of needing the next major update, I'll probably be on a different machine.

I'm not sure how I would do that. I have auto update turned on and it does as it pleases.

If you have suggestions, please let me know.

It's not always that these updates are automatically installed with Windows Update. Sometimes you have to go to Settings->Windows Update and manually chose to install these bigger updates.

After I posted I took a look and saw that it was an optional update. I'm always interested in security but the other features did not float my boat so for now I am holding off.

If it added anything that anyone thinks is great I would love to hear about it.
