Windows 10 20H2 released

How to get the Windows 10 October 2020 Update​

With organizations moving and adapting from remote to hybrid work scenarios, and essential workers continuing to support us all, it is more important than ever that we continue to provide you with the tools you need to remain protected and productive. In June, we announced Windows 10, version 20H2—and the availability of the first preview build in the Windows Insider Program. We then released a preview build to commercial customers in the Beta and Release Preview Channels for pre-release validation in August. We have continued to make improvements based on the feedback received through these programs and I am pleased to announce that we are beginning the availability of the October 2020 Update. Today’s post offers details on our measured and phased roll out approach, how you can get the update, and information to enable commercial organizations to begin targeted deployments.

I did install it before via the Insider Program, since then had no issues

A lovely build 20H2 is. Currently installed as an Insider build, so it seems I'll be moving on soon.

Very stable, here's a 9-day stretch. Still have a couple of ESENT id 64 "warnings" on every start/restart in Event Viewer but it doesn't seemingly impact performance. May be related to the nvm-e installed as my boot drive. The SSD disk optimization "never run" and "defrag" bug is outta here! Doesn't mean this'll hold true stability-wise for everyone. But hopefully, it will.

Windows 10 core it's pretty stable nowadays, advanced users need a minimal install option like some Linux distros do including only the essentials features without having to spend hours modifying an ISO.

ill download in like 365 days since I aint going through another 2004 episode like i had which took ages to update and then troubleshoot the issues that came with it.

FYI the released .ISO file it's not the latest build, to get the latest version you need to use Media Creation Tool or download the .ESD and convert it to an .ISO.

ESD downloads from MS server

Should I click on download!

Make system image before you do

And it depends on what build you are currently.
For 2004 is just an enablement pack / feature update, no big update.
For older builds it is a much bigger upgrade.

If you upgrade directly using Windows Update, you will be able to install this feature update in less than 100MB. Remember that this is only valid for those running Windows 10 Build 19041.508 or newer.

From:

Download Windows 10 ISO 22H2 images (offline installer)

Download the latest Windows 10 22H2 ISO directly from Microsoft or use the Media Creation Tool to create your own ISOs.

I've never trusted non clean updates, but considering 20H2 it's not a big update there shouldn't be problems
