Windows 10: 2021-07 cumulative update for Windows 10 KB5004945

Seeking advice on Updating to 21H1 with KB5004945 on my doorstep.

Windows 10 Pro - Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.1052)

Howdy Folks *Smile

With talk about 21H2 coming soon (and Win-11), I'm ready to move up to 21H1 (from 20H2), but just received July's KB5004945, 2021-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 20H2 for x64.

TIA to all who read this post and to those who reply.
