I have inherited a computer that is about four years old. I have had it switched on for a week doing updates and the OS info page says it is still on version 1803 (17134.1304) but the updates it installs are called feature updates to Windows 10 version 22H2.
- Isn't version 22H2 a later version than 1803 and, if so, why would it be installing 22H2 updates when it is on 1803?
- Should I be able to get it up to the latest version, which I believe is 22H2 19045.3448 or thereabouts by means of Windows updates or does it involve a manual install?
Thanks,
Phil.

Create new USB boot media Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)
This is the clean install routine Windows 11 Clean Installation (microsoft.com)
If you wish you can try to update to 22H2 by running setup off the new USB install media via File Explorer but if it fails then a clean install may still be the best option. (if you have any files in the default folders then back them up before you start)
