But Microsoft doesn\u2019t offer new Windows updates to all PCs at once. Instead, Microsoft rolls them out slowly over time, after both Microsoft and the various PC manufacturers check to see if they cause problems with different hardware configurations. If your PC doesn\u2019t get the update, Microsoft isn\u2019t entirely confident it will work on your hardware just yet.<\/p>\n<p>However, you can override this and choose to install the update anyway. After all, you can always downgrade back to your current version of Windows 10 if you have any problems, assuming you choose to do so within ten days after upgrading. There\u2019s some risk here, but you are still installing a stable operating system update.<\/p>\n<p>To install the update anyway, you can now head to Settings &gt; Update &amp; Security &gt; Windows Update and click the \u201cCheck for Updates\u201d button. If a stable version of Windows 10 is available, Windows Update may offer to download and install it\u2014even if it hasn\u2019t been rolled out to your PC yet. Look for a \u201cDownload and install now\u201d link below a notice about a \u201cFeature Update\u201d being available for your PC.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-729219 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/download-21h1.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Click &quot;Download and Install&quot; under the Feature Update section.\" width=\"650\" height=\"285\" data-credittext=\"Microsoft\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Microsoft<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can also visit <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/software-download\/windows10\">Microsoft\u2019s Download Windows 10 page<\/a> to update.
