Windows 10 launches updates of different types (cumulative, security, etc.), but without a doubt that the most important updates are those that have to do with a new edition (build) of the system. A short time ago the Windows 10 2004 edition was released for users, which is full of news and improvements. This Windows 10 update has been released for all users in general and its update is possible from Windows Update but on some computers it is likely that this will not be done automatically..
We know that in Windows 10 we have automatic updates that are installed without prior permissions or the automatic Windows 10 update that we execute at a specific time. in this case we must resort to the forced update method to have this new edition and there are two methods that TechnoWikis will explain in detail.
