If the machine is compatible with Windows 10 20H2, the feature update should be offered for download and installation. <\/p>\n<p>Microsoft then plans to roll out the upgrade in waves and roll it out to more machines in the coming weeks. This will depend on the problems identified. The new features of Windows 10 20H2 are limited: A little change in the start menu and the Chromium Edge is on board.
