As always, Microsoft is slowly rolling this update out to Windows 10 PCs, bit by bit. Windows Update should automatically install the 21H1 update on your PC, but it may take a few weeks. Here\u2019s how to get it right now.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend you wait for Windows Update to automatically install this update on your PC. This is a particularly small update with very few changes, so there\u2019s no reason for most people to rush the process. If you wait, you will have less chance of encountering a show-stopping bug on your PC.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_the_Update_From_Windows_Update\"><\/span>How to Get the Update From Windows Update<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> You can check Windows Update for the update, although it may not <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear if Microsoft hasn\u2019t approved it for your PC\u2019s hardware and software configuration yet.<br \/>\nTo check, head to Settings &gt; Update &amp; Security &gt; Windows Update.
