Windows 10 Version 20H2 To Reach End of Life

We’ve begun applying the Microsoft Windows 10 update (v. 21H2) for our clients so that their workstations continue receiving critical security patches and avoid the exploitation of this pending vulnerability. The patching process should happen during normal pre-scheduled time windows unless otherwise instructed. If you’re not working with TSI, we highly recommend that you reach out to your IT provider or staff to begin working on this as soon as possible. Some things to keep in mind are that we anticipate that it will take approximately 3 hours to install this update which will require an additional 15-45 minutes to reboot machines following the installation. It is important to note that computers require 20-25GB of free storage space to successfully download and install this update.
