Glad to hear it. The Assistant can be a bit slow, but 21H1 update is not huge so should go through quickly... The last of its breed. From now on (or from next Monday at least) it's 11...

As yet not Win 11 compatible, it appears I need to enter BIOS and verify that the PC has 1.2 TPM or later and turn it on, I don't like entering BIOS, have had some bad experiences

The Gartner group (world's largest IT consultant) used to say 'never update windows until the 1st service pack . . . In the new environment, that probably means the 1st monthly update to the new OS after release.
I am past the age of an early adopter for MS product - at one time it was an adventure into the unknown, but now it's just stress my retired bod can do without. Since win11 has not been formally public released (Oct 11??) yet, I'd use your win10 21h1 installation at least until the November updates (or the 1st update - I recall reading that win11 may be updated less frequently than win10) are out before considering installing win11. And then it may pay to review the early feedback reports in the tech media before actually doing it.

My sentiments exactly David, have enough issues getting it up and running correctly without the added burden of Win 11
