I have an old laptop from 2013 and the Windows Update tells me for months now that I am going to get the May 2020, version 2004 update. all my other laptops/pcs already received it and already updated to 20H2.
But maybe my laptop won't update because it's too old and it won't be fully compatible? Or should i just use the installation USB to manually update o 20H2?
Thanks
If you do upgrade successfully to 2004, then see

Before attempting any upgrade ensure you have a current disk image, just in case.
All upgrades carry potential risks- and I doubt you'd see any practical benefits.
thank you.
I made a usb installer and it already came with 20H2. I also installed it to someone else but it changed the built-in Mail app and he's not happy with the new Mail app of the 20H2. Is there a way to make a USB installer for older versions?
All Windows builds are freely downloadable as iso's - see relevant tutorial on downloading an iso file which e.g. suggests the Heidoc iso downloader (Google, free). There is another download tool as well.
Suitable instructions for creating a bootable flash drive by commands or Rufus are given in the tutorial on creating a flash drive to install Win 10.
However, app updates are automatic, so it could be that the later version will be installed anyway.
