Update your operating system??
So, I have recently formatted my pc (basically meaning i uninstall everything and fresh windows) But when I try to run valorant. I get the error:This version of vanguard requires you to update your operating system to Windows 10 20H1 or newer

The error you're seeing indicates that the version of Vanguard included with VALORANT requires Windows 10 version 20H1 (May 2020 Update) or newer. Here’s how you can update your Windows OS:
1. Check your Current Version: Press
Windows Key + R
, type winver
, and press Enter. It will show you your current Windows version.
2. Update Windows:
- Go to Settings
> Update & Security
> Windows Update
.
- Click on Check for updates
and install all available updates.
3. Feature Update (if needed):
- If Windows Update doesn’t offer the 20H1 update, go to the Microsoft Software Download page.
- Download the Update Assistant or the Media Creation Tool to manually update to the latest version.
After updating, restart your PC for the changes to take effect, then try running VALORANT again. If you continue to face issues, re-installing Vanguard might help.
