Windows 10 version 21H2 is coming
For those who already have Windows 10 version 21H2, version 21H2 will be made available. However, in the case of Windows 11, it will only be available for those computers that meet the requirements imposed by Microsoft, such as the TPM 2.0 module and eighth-generation processors or higher.
Microsoft has been testing a feature in the Windows Insider Program to show a warning on Windows Update when upgrading to Windows 10 version 21H2. This is an alert to promote the company's new operating system. When a computer is compatible with Windows 11, a message will appear saying "This PC can run Windows 11".
