So the Windows 10 built in software update seems to do well getting smaller updates, but it doesn't always pull down and install the big ones (like the most recent Windows 181o update from October 2018. Hence the numbering scheme they use.)
What you'll want to do is download the Windows 10 Update Assistant. That tool will force the latest big version of Windows to be downloaded and then installed on your PC.
If you are going into a place where there isn't fast internet, or if you just have several PCs you need to update, I recommend creating a USB installer using the Windows Media Creation Tool, which is available on Microsoft's Windows 10 disc image (ISO) download page.
Finally I encourage you to go into the installed apps page in Settings and uninstall pretty much all of the junk that you can from there. Both Windows and the PC manufacturer have put a lot of crap on the computer by default (OneDrive, games, bloatware from the manufacturer etc). The only thing I strongly encourage you not to remove is any WiFi/wireless driver you see in the list. Anything else is ok to uninstall as the computer will reinstall it if it is truly necessary for your computer.
