Laptop hard drive crashed...bought a replacement HD and succefull installed same. Used old Win 10 disk and started updating (for hours). Finally it seemed I was upto date but when I ran Update and Security I am getting "You are not up to date" Your device is missing important security and quality fixes.

I tried restarting and then trying U&S again but keep getting the same message. Hitting "Check fo updates" does not bring up any thing new....same message

Suggestions?

Hi Edward,

You can upgrade to Windows 10 22H2 using the Media Creation Tool.

  1. Download Windows 10 Media Creation Tool (MCT) from this link:

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=2265055

  1. Run MCT and accept the license agreement.
  2. Click "Upgrade this PC now". This starts the repair installation.

Your apps, settings, and files will be kept by default during a repair install/in-place upgrade.

Hi Edward,

Please run msinfo32.exe and click System Summary. Resize the columns in the right pane to make the entries visible, and post a screenshot of that screen.

Run winver.exe and post the screenshot. The dialog shows the OS version and the build number.
