  UPGRADING WINDOWS

  By Susan Bradley

  Windows 20H2 is in the pipeline — so it’s about time to install … its predecessor, Win10 2004.

  On October 20, Microsoft tweeted that the October 2020 Update (aka 20H2) has been officially released and will show up over time via a “throttled” rollout. But a few of the tweet’s replies quickly noted that some Win10 users are still waiting for Version 2004 — or had to manually install it. (Microsoft states that the upgrade from Win10 2004 to 20H2 should go faster because it’s more like a monthly update.)

  WOODY’S WINDOWS WATCH

  By Woody Leonhard

  Two weeks ago, Microsoft started rolling out the latest Windows 10 feature update — to little enthusiasm from customers.

  Yawn   another Win10 release?

  If you’re running Win10, you may have already seen an offer to “Download and install” version 2004. Or you might’ve seen a notice that your machine isn’t yet ready. As usual, the situation’s a bit complex — unnecessarily so.

  But as with every new release of Windows, you’re well advised to avoid Version 2004 for now on any production or personal system.

  UPDATE: Tero Alhonen reports on Twitter that a Surface Pro 4 is getting Win10 version 2004 through Windows Update.
