    Hi Sumit,

              I used option four from the list you have over on the other site. I had the most current version of Windows 10 2004 with all updates applied to my system. The update to 20H2 took about three minutes to complete and works "Perfectly" with No problems. Thank you for the information there.

    If Windows 10 is not activated then you can use the Store to activate the edition you have installed. So if you have Home edition you get the option to buy a Home licence.

    Otherwise you can indeed use the Microsoft website.
