Windows 10 21H2 is already in the “widespread deployment” phase, Microsoft said on the panel Windows 10 Health Dashboard. This means that it is available to any compatible computer and all users you should see the update on Windows Update.

Windows 11 still has a lot of development and improvement to become the main desktop system. Their market share varies considerably depending on who cites the data, but we think it’s lower than Microsoft expected. Adoption is not as high as expected for the new version of Windows, due to the chaotic strategy with hardware requirements and features promised at launch, they have simply not been launched yet. For all this, a lot we continue to keep Windows 10 as the main system of useespecially on production PCs.

Windows 10 21H2, the “Windows 10 November 2021 Update,” as Microsoft called it, is the latest version of the system. Like the previous one, it is free to upgrade computers that have a valid Windows 10 license. The Consumer and Home editions will have 18 months of service and support, while the Enterprise and Education editions will have 30 months.

Windows 10 21H2, available for everyone

In the face of the increase in official requirements that Microsoft has imposed on Windows 11, the hardware needs of Windows 10 21H2 have not changed and are known from previous versions. Also, all supported drivers from the spring release (21H1) have been digitally signed for 21H2 using the same features.
