    I have 4 Windows 10 PRO PCs. One of the PCs updated to version 20H2, but the other 3 did not. They are still on version 2004. I ran Windows Update on the other 3 PCs, but 20H2 is not showing. I like to keep all of my PCs on the same Windows version. How can I resolve this issue?

    @Allen305, 

    If you don't get the the update offered through Windows Update you can always download the 20H2 ISO file using the MediaCreationTool20H2.exe from the Microsoft site, just follow the instructions.

    You can either create the media installation on a USB flash drive or just download the Windows.iso.

    You can then do the update by simply starting the setup from either the USB flash Drive or from the mounted Windows.iso.
