Windows 10 Version 21H2 Update Is Now Rolling out to All Users

Following various rumors regarding the Windows 10 Sun Valley update last year, Microsoft began putting it out as Windows 10 21H2 in late 2021. The company has officially released the Windows 10 21H2 update for wide distribution, which means that any Windows 10 user can now download it by checking their Windows Update settings. Let’s have a look at the specifics.

The 21H2 Update for Windows 10 is Now Available to All Users

Microsoft announced the shift in the official Windows 10 version 21H2 changelog, making the update suitable for widespread deployment. The update is aimed largely at business customers and is far smaller than the larger Windows 11 upgrade. As a result, users who do not meet the system requirements for Windows 11 can download this update for their Windows 10-based PCs.

The Windows 10 21H2 update primarily provides support for WPA3 H2E Wi-Fi security standards and GPU computing functionality in the Windows subsystem for Linux for machine-learning workflows. In addition, the update makes it easier to install passwordless Windows Hello-enabled systems in business settings. With these kinds of large feature updates for its Windows platform, Microsoft isn’t hesitant about adding new functionality.

The Windows 10 21H2 edition, on the other hand, does not offer anything. Nonetheless, we can anticipate the business to continue to bring new features to Windows 10 through cumulative updates, much as it did with the new Search Highlights feature in Windows 10 and 11.

It’s worth noting that the decision comes as Microsoft prepares to end support for some earlier versions of Windows 10 in the coming weeks. On May 10, Microsoft will cease to support Windows 10 versions 1909 (for enterprise and education clients) and 20H2 (for Home and Pro editions).

So, if you’re running Windows 10 on your desktop or laptop, head to the Updates and Security section of the Settings menu and click the “Check for Updates” option right now to obtain the latest 21H2 update.
