As a result, we are initially taking a measured seeker-based approach to the rollout of the May 2021 Update. In the current environment, we know that you continue to rely on your PCs more than ever. Our approach to update availability and rollout My post today shares details on our measured rollout approach, how you can get the update and some overall information on Windows. We have released and evaluated preview builds through the Windows Insider Program over the past months and, based on the feedback gathered from our Insider community, we are now ready to begin a phased rollout.

The May 2021 Update is purposely scoped to deliver important features that improve security, remote access and quality-and engineered to provide a fast update experience. As I noted when we first announced the May 2021 Update in February, we grounded this update on the needs expressed by you, our customers, over the past year of continued remote work, learning and play. You should only consider using the upgrade tool to install the new version on a computer running Windows 10 version 1909 (November 2019 Update) or an earlier release.Today marks the beginning of Windows 10, version 21H1 availability. The update process should take less than an hour to complete. Once you complete the steps, the Windows 10 22H2 files will download, and the update process will begin preserving your files, apps, and settings. To install Windows 10 21H2 with the Update Assistant, use these steps:ĭouble-click the Windows10Upgrade9252.exe file to launch the setup. However, if you cannot wait, you can use the steps below to upgrade to version 22H2: It’s never recommended to upgrade a device during the early days of the rollout or when the device doesn’t receive the notification to upgrade manually because it might indicate that your hardware configuration is still not yet compatible. Important: These steps are meant to help you upgrade once the new version becomes available, not before.
