Starting this month, Microsoft will begin forcing some users to upgrade to Windows 10 version 1909 or version 2004 if they don’t update their PC manually.

This is coming after Microsoft announced that it’s ending support for Windows 10 version 1903, including Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro.

If you’re on Windows 10 version 1903, you’ll be force upgraded to version 1909 later this month.

If you’re on Windows 10 version 1909, you’ll be forcefully upgraded to Windows 10 version 2004 (May 2020 Update) by the spring of next year.

If you’re still using last year’s Windows 10 versions, it’s better to attempt the upgrade manually.

If you would like to get the most recent version of Windows 10, simply head to the Settings app and check for updates.

You can also use the Media Creation Tool or Windows 10 ISO files.

Microsoft is also informing users about the upcoming forced upgrade via a new notification within the Windows Update page.

The process is expected to start this week and expand over the course of the next month before Windows 10 version 21H1 update is ready for production channels.
