Update Windows 10 Enterprise 1809 to 20H2 / 21H2 - no Update possible?

[Jonny0r]

Hello,

I have an HP ZBook 17 G6 from 2000. The notebook came with Windows 10 - Enterprise 1809. Unfortunately there have been no updates here for quite some time.
Our IT is now asking how these notebooks can be updated to 20H2 or 21H2 without having to reinstall them. Unfortunately our IT has no further suggestion apart from contacting HP or Zeiss and in this case I assume that the OS was installed by HP.

I would be happy if there was a possibility here before our notebooks had to be removed from the network due to the lack of updates.

Many Thanks

(1) Unfortunately, you have waited too long and have not updated your systems.

In retrospect, this has already been a security problem !
