Starting on May 18, the Windows 10 May 2021 Update is available for anyone who wants to install it. If you want to update right now, you can do an in-place upgrade or a clean installation with a 21H1 ISO.

As usual, Microsoft is performing a staggered rollout which means most people checking Windows Update won't see the update right now. But if you want to get up to date right now, you can do an in-place upgrade or a clean installation with a 21H1 ISO.

IMPROTANT NOTE: There's always a chance of something going wrong during and after the upgrade, which means that you should consider creating a temporary backup before proceeding. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Bare in mind that Microsoft isn't going to automatically install it on your PC. If you can't wait, you can always force the upgrade in at least three ways using Windows Update, Media Creation Tool, or Update Assistant.

In this Windows 10 video tutorial, I will show you the steps to download and install the May 2021 Update (version 21H1) on your PC.

DOWNLOAD THE MEDIA CREATION TOOL:
Download Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool (which downloads Windows 10) from Microsoft's website.

➤ DOWNLOAD LINK:

Once downloaded, double-click the tool’s exe file. Tick "Create installation media for another PC", then "Next".

CREATE A WINDOWS 10 INSTALLATION MEDIA
You'll be asked whether you want to create a USB flash drive (you’ll need to insert one with 8GB or more free space) or an ISO file, which you can turn into an installation DVD. Choose the ISO file option and click "Next".

Choose the location where you want to download the ISO file and click "Next". You’ll then need to wait while the Windows 10 update downloads, which can take a fair while, depending on your internet connection.

BEGIN THE UPGRADE PROCESS

As soon as your computer restarts, follow the remaining steps to complete the installation.

After you complete the steps, the Media Creation Tool will apply version 21H1 on your computer, keeping your files, apps, and most settings.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE WINDOWS 10 MAY 2021 UPDATE WITH UPDATE ASSISTANT
If you know that the system is compatible with the new version, but there are problems with Windows Update detecting and downloading the new files, then you can use the Update Assistant tool to install the Windows 10 May 2021 Update.

To install Windows 10 version 21H1 with the Update Assistant, use these steps:
2. Click the Update now button.
3. Save the file to your device.
4. Double-click the Windows10Upgradexxxx file to launch the tool.
5. Click the Update Now button.
6. Click the Next button.

Once you complete these steps, the Update Assistant tool will download the new files, and it'll install the May 2021 Update similar to the Windows Update process preserving your files, apps, and most of the settings. The time of completion will depend on your internet connection and device hardware.

In the case the device has the version 1909 or an older release, the version 2004 will install as a regular upgrade, and then you will be able to apply the May 2021 Update.

If the computer is not seeing the option to update, there is a chance of compatibility with the current setup or hardware blocking the new version. If this is the case, you should not try to force the feature update to affect the experience negatively.

Computers still on an older release of Windows 10 will also receive this new version as an optional upgrade. However, a full upgrade to version 2004 will be required before installing version 21H1. The only exception is if the device has a version nearing the end of service. If this is the case, the computer will eventually automatically upgrade to prevent interruption of security and maintenance updates.
