No good at waiting for 20H2

20H2 started to roll out October 20, 2020.

Even though I had (some) 20H2 features unlocked, already, I didn’t feel like / couldn’t be bothered wondering, checking and waiting for it to show via WU, so, I used MCT and now, have

Edition Windows 10 Pro

Version 20H2

Installed on ‎21-‎Oct-‎2020

OS build 19042.572

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0

And, NOW, Edge IS, actually, imbedded (with 20H2). ��

Uninstall button is not live (as it was); it IS live for Dev & Canary.





Also, saved the .iso

I swear there is a noticeable performance 'nudge', too.

Cheers,

Drew

 

WHY WAIT? FORCE MANGO

Threre are a total of three updates must be installed on the path to Mango: 7392, 7403, and 7720, which is Mango itself. The process will take a while. Some people may already have 7392, in which case things will move a bit faster. Recommended: Rremove any
music and unessential apps from the phone beforehand, as that can significantly cut down on the time it takes to backup and restore the phone's data.

Steps to force a Mango update on phones for which Mango has started rolling out:

• Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune software
• Click on Phone > Settings > Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If so, skip this guide. If not continue to the next step.
• Time to force the update. Click another button (any of the options above or below the word Update). Then click the Update button again, and this time disconnect your computer from the internet after 1-2 seconds. Do this by pulling out the Ethernet cable,
  disabling Wi-Fi, etc. If it says your phone is already up to date, you didn't disconnect quickly enough and need to try this step again.
• Wait 30 seconds or so and Zune should display a notification that an update is available. This is 7392, the first Mango pre-update.
• Now reconnect to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune software.
• After 7392 is fully installed, you may receive a notification that another update is available. If so, install it now. If not, proceed to the next step.
• If the second update isn't popping up on its own, repeat steps 3-5, causing the 7403 update to appear.
• Install 7403.
• Mango time! At this point, Zune should automatically start installing the last update, 7720, aka Mango. If it doesn't happen automatically, force it using the previous steps.

Force Mango update early through Zune software and avoid frostbite

 

Still waiting ??

Hello --- I have a laptop that is just a few years old and as of this post, it is still waiting for win 10 / build 2004 --- my other computers that are much older, already have the 20H2 build applied --- what could be holding this up?

what could be the down-side of forcing the 20H2 update?
