Windows 10: SEVERE PROBLEM: Is Windows 10 Update Version 21H1 more secure?

Hi all, I've spent the past few weeks trying to find an answer on Microsoft's site but I haven't been able to find much help... I'm running Windows 10 Pro 2004 with the June Cumulative Update installed, but I'm not running Windows 10 Version 21H1. I want to install a few new Apps, but I don't want to install any new Apps this if my Windows 10 Pro PC isn't as secure as it can possibly be so I'm stuck at the moment... Does Windows 10 Version 21H1 offer much in the way of better security? Thank you.

:)

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

Defer feature updates in Windows 10

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.
