W10 Update 21H2?

I'm running W10 Pro and have been sitting on the 21H2 update for a while now and was wondering whether it was worth updating or not from my current version of 20H2? My laptop isn't compatible for W11, and tbh I wasn't planning on updating to it if it was.

Is there anything to look out for if I did update to the latest feature update?

    Update. Not much will happen. 
  • Go for it, some minor cosmetic changes to the start menu and some security updates, nothing really to worry about 😊
    Useful is beautiful
  • Microsoft only offer 18 months of support for each version (home/pro) - so the 20H2 release will be out of support by May next year so you've still got 6 months before you need to upgrade if you want to continue to be on a supported version.

    I'm guessing from the fact you missed the 21H1 version from May this year you aren't a fan of upgrades when they come along which is fine, but just be aware of the support and also that security updates and bug fixes are often rolled up into the feature updates.

    As above. Nothing noticeable. Maybe the security updates are worth getting, but nothing's going to sweep you off your feet!
    Given that alternate releases of Windows have been duds (remember Vista and Windows 8? :) ), 11 probably will be too. I've got 3 machines running 10 and none will run 11, so I won't be "upgrading" to it either!
