CCO Computers - Mandatory Windows 10 Update
Mandatory Update of Operating System to Windows 10 (22H2)
Windows 10 requires frequent updates of the operating system to remain current and supported. When the CSC 4.3 image was released on CCO Net computers the operating system version included was (20H2). We have reached the end of life of this version and an upgrade to (22H2) must be applied to all CCO Net computers that are currently using the (20H2) version.
The latest version of the image CSC 4.4 is running the 22H2 version. All computers’ images between CSC 4.3 and CSC 4.2.2 will require this update. Special instructions apply to images 4.2.1 and below refer to section How do I know what image my CCO computer is running.
This update will be made available to all CCO Net computers on November 27, 2023.
As of January 15, 2024 this update will be made mandatory.
This update is about 300KBs in size and at most will take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes to download. It will then prompt for a restart once the download has finished and will take up to 5 minutes to restart.
Once the restart has completed, the computer will begin to receive its Security updates which can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour to download. You may continue working on the computer during this time. Once the update has finished downloading, you will have a 4-hour grace period before your computer automatically restarts. You can restart anytime that is convenient for you in between the 4 hours.
The update can be done both while connected to CCO Net directly (from RCSU headquarters or deployed offices (area offices)) or via VPN.
Does every computer need to do this update?
No, computers that are already running a CSC 4.4 version of the image already have (22H2) included and will not be affected by this update.
How do I know what image my CCO computer is running?
1. Look at the top right corner of your desktop. The 4th line of the BGInfo will tell you what your image version is.
2. If you are still unsure of the version of Windows you are running you can open the search option and type "winver".
3. Click the "Run" command option.
4. A pop-up will appear displaying the Windows version that you are at.
5. CSC 4.4: You are good to go, there is no update required.

Any other image version (CSC 4.2.1 or below), if the result of winver is 1909 or lower, do not attempt to upgrade, please contact the Service Desk as your computer will require reimaging.
