Windows 10: Just upgraded to Windows 10 Home Version 20H2 Installed on ‎1/‎17/‎2021

All links to printer, fax, scanner, MS Office, who know what else have disappeared. Computer worked fine prior to "Update 20H2".

Why did this "update" destroy my computer's operation?

I want all my peripherals back!

Windows 10 version 20H2

The computer in question had Windows 7 on it and there was not an option to uninstall the 20H2 update. So I have reverted back to Windows 7. Is there a way to download and install Windows 10 version 2004? The games will work on that version but not the
20H2 version.

Thanks

 

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
