as part of check for updates program built into win10.

I did this on a PC not being offered the update, and it worked flawlessly.
There are two reasons a PC may not be offered the October 2020 Feature Update just yet. The first (and most likely) is that Microsoft are are using a phased rollout and not offering it immediately to all machines, over the next few weeks more machines will start to see it being offered.
The second is where there is a known blocking issue for particular hardware and/or software. Such a machine will not see it offered until MS have resolved the issues. There is a risk that if you force the update on such a machine it will fail or cause problems.
It would appear in your case you fall into the first category
Yes, I looked into the few reasons for not doing it, there were 3 listed I think, and the PC did not fit into any of them.There are two reasons a PC may not be offered the October 2020 Feature Update just yet.

So I did it, and glad I did.
I even left MS a nice positive comment on their webpage as this allowed me to get the update when updates was not .
