Microsoft says Windows 10, version 21H2 is now designated for broad deployment, making it available to everyone via Windows Update.

The Windows 10 21H2 rollout started in November 2021, but Microsoft only began offering it to all those checking for updates via Windows Update beginning on Friday, April 15, 2022.

Microsoft moves Windows versions to the broad deployment phase only after determining that it's ready for deployment on most Windows 10 devices, including those with modern chipsets.

To install Windows 10 21H2, you can check for updates via Windows Update, but you can also use the Windows 10 Media Creation tool to upgrade or create an ISO for a clean install of Windows 10 21H2. "If you are using Windows 10 and want to move to Windows 11, you can check if your device is eligible for the upgrade using the PC Health Check app or checking Windows 11 specs, features, and computer requirements," Microsoft added.

Since January 27, 2022, Windows 11, version 21H2 has also entered broad deployment for eligible devices via Windows Update.

You can check if your Windows 10 device is eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade using the PC Health Check app or the info on the Windows 11 specs, features, and computer requirements page.
