    Feature Updates from Windows Update


    I clean installed Windows 10 from original Microsoft retail USB drive Model 1734 which contains Window 10 version 1809 and then went through Windows Update and all I'm getting is Feature Update version 20H2 after installing all version 1809 cumulative updates. I have ASUS Maximus XI Hero Wi-Fi motherboard with Core I9-9900k CPU and the 1903 BIOS update which supports Windows 11, NVIDIA RTX 2060 graphics card and WD 2TB Black SN750 NVME SSD, no HDD. After updating to version 20H2 which took over an hour starting from original retail clean install I tried manually check for updates and all I get are few optional updates for drivers and then nothing after that. Windows Update isn't even offering Feature Update 21H1 or Windows 11. Why is the Windows Update offer stuck with version 20H2 after clean install even after manually checking for updates? I have TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled in the UEFI BIOS. CSM is disabled.

    Keith,

    Not being offered Windows 11 yet is no surprise. Microsoft is rolling out Windows 11 in stages and they have stated that it will not be offered to everyone until mid 2022.

    However, it is a little curious that you have not been offered Windows 10 21H1 yet.

    If you like, you can install the update to Windows 10 or Windows 11 manually.

    NOTE: As always, prior to a major upgrade, I would suggest making sure that you have a current backup just in case something goes wrong.

    Start by going here:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/

    Choose either Windows 10 or 11.

    Choose either the "Update now" option or create media and install from that media.

    TIP: Either way you go, I would still suggest creating media in either case so that you can boot from that media for troubleshooting and recovery options should you ever need to do so.

    If you have any questions, just let me know.

    I would have to ask why you started with an old build - 1809.

    All builds of Win 10 are freely downloadable- so if you really wanted to run Win 11, why didn't you simply clean install Win 11?

    Have you actually tried Win 11? Note that the taskbar is significantly less functional than Win 10's, for example. Just a thought..

    Is your build number 19042.1288? A 21H1 MSU package brings you to 19043 and same for 19044.1288 with a cab file..

    21H1
    These new features will remain dormant until they are turned on through the “enablement package,” a small, quick-to-install “master switch” that activates the Windows 10, version 21H1 features.

    KB5000736 Featured update Windows 10 version 21H1 enablement package

    Knowing that your machine meets the requirements, do you wish to upgrade to Win 11 with no effort?
