The new Edge has also been available to download from the web since January 15, 2020. That’s not necessarily big news-Windows Update may already have installed the new Microsoft Edge on your system, anyway. Microsoft is proud that this is the first version of Windows 10 with the new, Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser included.

There’s a convenient “Copy” button to copy all the text to your clipboard, and you’ll even find buttons for opening advanced system settings like BitLocker settings and Device Manager at the bottom of the page. All the information found in the Settings pane in Control Panel is available in the Settings app. Instead, Microsoft is taking the existing 20H1 update and polishing it even further. This time around, 20H2 easily could have been another big release packed full of features. ![]() But Microsoft insisted that there was no plan to do a small update followed by a large update each year. Sure, we had a smaller update last year with 19H2 (the November 2019 Update) followed by a larger update with 20H1 (the May 2020 Update). Windows 10’s October 2020 Update (version 20H2) does offer some notable changes-the classic System pane in the Control Panel is vanishing-but mostly features smaller changes. RELATED: How to Install Windows 10's October 2020 Update (20H2) There’s Not a Lot New, and That’s Big News! We recommend you wait for the update to be offered to your PC via Windows Update before you install it. You may encounter bugs with the update on your PC’s hardware if you use it. Warning: Running this tool skips the gradual rollout process. Head to the Download Windows 10 page and click “Update now” to get it. To install the update anyway, download and run Microsoft’s Update Assistant tool. If the update isn’t available for your PC, that suggests Microsoft isn’t confident it will perform well on your PC’s hardware yet. ![]()
