chrisinth Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 This is a "just for info" post. Microsoft this week have lifted all the blocks for the 20H2 upgrade for W10. This means that the upgrade is available to everybody with a machine that has compatible hardware and more importantly, wants to do the upgrade. I believe this rollout started a couple of days ago. Note that it isn't a necessary requirement at the minute to do this, and is probably better if you delay for a while until any bugs that weren't sorted through the insider release(s), are. As said, the post is just FYI. You will find it in Settings\Update & Security\Windows Update, in the feature update section. I have upgraded 8 machines today, 4 on the company network and 4 at home and haven't come across any issues (yet!). It isn't a big upgrade and I was averaging about 15/20 minutes for each machine, including reboot times. Obviously install times will differ depending on specs of individual machines. If you're going for it, enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft have now lifted the blocks to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft have now lifted the blocks to this. Strangely my troubles with freezing ( now fixed as per my comments in another thread) started in November last year when I upgraded to that release. Because of the issues I had I have reinstalled windows numerous times since and still the problem persisted but now sure it had nothing whatsoever to do with that release. Maybe my imagination but Windows seems to load quicker with that release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
