With the End of Life approaching on older versions of Windows 10, Windows 10 version 21h2 will be deployed starting 8AM on Wednesday, May 18. You will have the option to defer this update for a maximum of 2 days, at which point upgrades will begin automatically.
You may see a windows popup indicating it’s ready to install and you may snooze, pick a time to update or restart now. If you choose to update now, the process may take several hours, and you will not be able to use your device during the upgrade. You may also choose to manually install it yourself. We recommend performing the upgrade at the end of the day since it can take several hours to complete. Once the upgrade begins, please do not shutoff your system so please plan accordingly.
