I'm trying to revive an old gaming PC with a clean installation of Windows 10, but it's stuck on version 20H2. When I check Windows Update, I see a warning that says, "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes," but it doesn't find any updates when I click 'Check for updates'. I'm using a legit Windows 10 Home key and my specs are: i7 5820k, Sabertooth X99, 4x4GB 2400MT/s RAM, 512GB Gen3 NVMe, and an RTX 3070 Ti. What should I do to get it updated? Thanks for any help!

You might just need to give it some time—updating can take a few days sometimes. But if you want a quicker fix, try reinstalling Windows using the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft's site. That could sort out the version issue more effectively.
If you have access to another computer, consider making a new Windows 10 install USB. This will let you install the latest version directly. Just keep in mind, a couple of reboots on your current setup could also trigger the update process.
Unfortunately, Windows Update might not upgrade from a version like 20H2 to the latest automatically. You'll likely need a fresh installation using a new media creation tool. Don't worry, your existing Windows key will still work with the new install.
