The Windows 10 version 21H1 release has begun!

Initially what is described as a "measured seeker-basked approach" to the rollout is being used. Microsoft is throttling availability to ensure a reliable experience. Also, as there might be a compatibility issue with a safeguard hold in place, those devices will not be offered the update.

Although it is advisable to check the Known issues first, if you are anxious to move to this new version, click on the Start Menu > Settings > Update & Security and click the "Check for update" button. Also see this article on How to get the Windows 10 May 2021 Update2020 Update, With an older device, you may want to wait until it is offered. As always, before making changes to your PC, make a backup.

Bleeping Computer has provide information about some of the changes included in this latest version at Windows 10 21H1 is released, these are the new features.
 
The Feature Update went very smoothly on my desktop PC. This enablement route simply switches on the features that are already incorporated into the system so it is very quick! My other devices including a newer Surface Laptop are all having to wait as it is not rolled out to them yet despite trying the seeker-based approach.
