[SOLVED] Should I update to windows 10 20h2

[aden.anderson2001]

Hello. I have a laptop with the following specs:
8gb ram
2gb vram
i5 5500u cpu

I have windows 10 1909 installed now and im not sure if I should update to 20h2 or not. I had heard the 20h1 update made a major change in windows resource management so that windows itself uses less resources. I do 3d engineering renderings and gaming on my laptop. Would you advice on updating to 20h2 or is there not big enough of a change worth to update?

Might as well do it now.
Eventually you will be forced to do it any way.
Plus having a dual core processor the update "SHOULD" free up a little memory and processor time for your work.

20H1 & 20H2 were mostly bug fixes, in theory, although fixing bugs often creates others.

not sure I saw anything about improved resource management in there.
They fixed how search works, improved its memory usage. Changed how the search database works.

My pc isn't ideal to test improved resource usage as it wouldn't notice a difference. It doesn't lack for anything now.

Here's what to expect from Windows 10's 20H2 update in the fall. Spoiler; There are some big changes---like the removal of the System Control Panel---but it's largely full of bug fixes and polish.
