Okay I see. I thought I recognised your user name from the Insider forum. I didn't actually try a link in this thread as I already knew about the 2009 release. There does seem to be a lot of people/users plus Microsoft using version 20H2 or 2009 (in text) when I thought 20H2 was what they had used in the Insider Previews and 2009 was the public release.
As in 20H1 or 2004.

I've been running various 20H2 Release Preview builds since the middle of September.
The point I’m trying to make is that 20H2 is now fully released; however, Microsoft appear to be very lax in keeping their (on-line) documentation up to date.
Also, see my signature comment below.
If it helps the link https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 to the UK Media Creation Tool shows the October 2020 update, aka version 2009. It is ready for public release if you want it.
Personally I would wait for it to appear via windows update, which is what I an doing. It's not appeared yet and I'm in no rush. I do the same with all version updates.
