   ... but probably shouldn't / won't want to bother.

   If you're running the latest version with the July 2022 updates the tiny [176KB] KB5015684 is all that's required, + a restart. Links to the update in Microsoft's Update Catalog are included in the article. And for your time & [little] trouble you'll be rewarded by seeing Windows 10 22H2 in Settings -> System -> About. While I suppose there's some chance some new feature(s) *might* be enabled sooner this fall, that's really 'bout it -- you won't see anything different. FWIW I tried the update in a VM & it does work as promised -- it cost me the chore of re-compacting the VM's VHD just to be able to say that, that it does work [sigh], but oh well...

   Microsoft has officially flipped the switch on Windows 10 22H2, it is now available to download in the form of a Cumulative Update through the Release Preview Channel for Windows Insiders...

   Microsoft did not provide a changelog, mainly because all this update provides is the enablement package to change the version from 21H2 to 22H2. It is a slight bump in build number from KB5015684 (19045.1862), which is publicly available to download from Microsoft and does the same thing, to today's 19045.1865 (KB5015878) Release Preview build.

   Yes, you saw correctly, even non Insiders can upgrade to Windows 10 22H2 right now if they want, because all you have to do is download the KB5015684 enablement package...

   Microsoft says that this build is being offered in the "seeker" experience, however being enrolled into the Release Preview Channel means you will get it offered via Windows Update automatically...
