Under Settings/Windows Update, a message says "Your version of Windows has reached the end of service". I'm currently running Windows 10 Home, version 1909, which I learned reached end of service on 5/11/2021. So....now what? Can I upgrade to a current version of Windows, and if so, how? Is there an additional cost to upgrade?
For months, my computer has failed to install update version 20H2 (I notice lots of other users have run into this, with install only reaching 61%). So now my version will no longer receive security updates.
There's no guidance on what to do next! Any assistance would help. Thanks.
Hello,
I had the same issue over the last few weeks (Sept 2021) and would not download the new updates. Currently on version 1909.
I used the update to latest version of Windows tool, as the update would not load via Windows update on my pc, and tried other things mentioned online. Nothing worked, failed each time.
As someone has mentioned, you need to make sure all your drivers are up to date. I searched device manager on my pc, loaded the list, opened the drop down list for each item (Audio inputs and outputs, batteries, etc.. ) and right clicked on every option and selected update driver (search automatically).
My PC updated and downloaded about 6 new drivers, including the Bios system and sound drivers. All the other drivers stated already on best option. After all the drivers were checked and updated, the Windows update tool then downloaded OK and the system updated to 21H1.
On my other PC the drivers were all up to date, the latest versions, and loaded the new windows updates no problem.
Hope this helps, as it was a lot of hassle initially, to clear the end of service message and update to latest version. May not be the solution for all, but sorted the issue for me and was the only thing that seemed to work.
Thank you,
