    My latest version of Windows 10 is 21H2.  Microsoft is not bugging me to update.

    Is there any reason to go beyond it?  I am using an HP Pavilion laptop that cannot be updated to Windows 11 (nor would I want to).

      What would you achieve? How would an upgrade serve you better?

      Sounds like you want others to do the analysis work without knowing your circumstances.

      As a result, your question is currently unanswerable IMO.

      I think she’s asking about Windows 10 22H2 which is a minor update from 21H2.  I recommend Windows 10 22H2.

      It’s obvious what OP is asking.

      However, I do not believe a generic recommendation to update suits all without further inspection.

      We already know that Microsoft’s ‘one size fits all’ doesn’t in fact ‘fit all’.

      You tell us that regularly, for very good reasons.

      This forum (and others) shows the fallacy of allowing Microsoft’s ‘one size fits all’… and its usual fallout, week after week, month after month.

      You’re suggesting OP trust Microsoft with no questioning of OP’s circumstances?

      Sorry… but no, no, no. I have to disagree with you.

      Please, tell me I’m wrong… and explain why.

      IMHO upgrading to Windows 10 22H2 is painless and have not encountered any problems from 21H2 to 22H2 on Windows 10 various installations.

      A worthy note to ponder is:
      Windows 10 21H2 will reach end of servicing on June 13, 2023
      We are here to help should you (unlikely) have any upgrade issues

      Win8.1/R2 Hybrid lives on..

      So, it worked for you and your individual setup/configuration.

        For Windows 10 22H2 yes, I can’t think of a reason to not upgrade.  And if you do have one, then it’s a bad one or a vendor needs taking out to the woodshed.

      So, why not just answer the OP’s question? If it’s a minor upgrade, why upgrade from 21H2 to 22H2? What benefits are there?

        I did answer.  With Windows 10 you always want to be in a sweet spot of support.  I would rather be on Windows 10 22H2 as that gives me maximum support window.  It’s a minor update, it gets it out of the way so you can get back to normal windows updating.  22H2 is now in broad offering and if it’s not being offered you may have a feature block in place and didn’t remember you did it.

      Still waiting… for specifics rather than mere generalities.

      Only the Home & Pro editions (including Pro Workstation) of Win10 21H2 will go out of support in June 2023.
      The Enterprise & Education editions of Win10 21H2 (I use one of these “higher” editions on one of my Win10 PCs) will have support until June 2024

      Unless you’re using one of the special “extended support” versions of Win10 21H2, there’ll be no more updates after June 13… only 2.5 months away!

      Moving to 22H2 gets you an additional 12 months of updates… EoS for 22H2 is May 14 2024.

      Is that specific enough for you?

      New! Gives you the option to receive important notifications when focus assist is on. Focus assist is like a do not disturb mode that hides notifications.

      What’s new in Windows 10 version 22H2

      ROFL… so, if ‘focus assist’ is ‘do not disturb’ but 22H2’s new feature is to ignore ‘do not disturb’… that’s a benefit? What a farce.

      “Let’s put in something as a new feature that few need then add an even newer feature that just ignores the earlier feature.” Brilliant!

      It more or less sums up the current Microsoft developer mindset – let’s play with end users instead of sorting out Windows 10’s long-standing network-sharing  issues.

      I’m not the OP… but at least it’s a specific answer. Thank you.

      I also note that more than a few posters here still resolutely hang on to Windows 7… so ‘end of support by Microsoft’ doesn’t appear to be a huge turn off. 🙂

      There are some that still have Windows XP and Vista active on their machines.  SO?
