Its installation allows you to change the OS to version 19044.1319. This number is important. This ensures that the download and installation went smoothly. It can be detected by running “winver.exe” on “Run” (WIN + R).

Microsoft explains

“This update will automatically be available for Windows 10 21H2 PCs registered with the Release Preview Channel. This update is provided for insiders who are not yet running Windows 10 21H2 through our “Seeker” experience in Windows Update, and only for insiders who have switched from beta channel to release preview channel as their PC hardware requirements are not met. For Windows 11. That means these insiders have to go to Settings> Update & Security> Windows Update and choose to download and install Windows 10 21H2.
