What’s next for Windows 10
updates
Microsoft have decided to continue to improve Windows 10, accelerating innovation with
investments in quality, new features, and the overall update experience that are all designed to keep you protected and productive. Today, John Cable was excited to introduce their next feature update, Windows 10, version 20H2, which is targeted for release later in the second half of this year, and provide an overview of their plans for this next release. Windows 10, version 20H2 will be delivered in an optimized way for anyone running the Windows 10 May 2020 Update (also referred to as Windows 10, version 2004). In his post, he provided information about their servicing approach for this release and details on how they are simplifying the naming of Windows versions moving forward.Quick to install and includes the new, improved
Microsoft Edge
Windows
10, version 20H2 will offer a scoped set of features to improve performance and
enhance quality. It will also be the first version of Windows 10 to include the
new Microsoft Edge, based on Chromium.
They continue
to learn and adjust the delivery and overall experience of the Windows Updates
based on customer feedback. As a result, they will again deliver Windows 10,
version 20H2 using servicing technology (like that used for the
monthly update process) for customers running the May 2020 Update who choose to
update to the new release. Simply put, anyone running the May 2020 Update and
updating to Windows 10, version 20H2 will have a faster installation experience
because the update will install like a monthly update.
For
consumer or commercial users coming from versions of Windows 10 earlier than
the May 2020 Update (version 2004), the process of updating to the new release
will be the same as it has been and will work in a similar manner to previous
Windows 10 feature updates, using the same tools and processes. As this Windows
10 release is targeted for the second half of 2020, commercial customers using
Windows 10 Enterprise and Education editions of version 20H2 will continue to
enjoy 30 months of servicing.
With
this release, they will also simplify their approach to numerical versions for
Windows and move to a format that represents the half of the calendar year in
which the release becomes available in retail and commercial channels. Windows
10, version 20H2 is, therefore, “20H2” because it will be released in the
second half of the 2020 calendar year. This is a familiar approach for their Windows
Insiders and is designed to provide consistency in their version names
across releases for their commercial customers and partners. (Note: They will continue to use a
friendly name, such as the May 2020 Update, in consumer communications.)
Next steps
They
will continue to employ a multilayered approach to the development and launch
of feature updates that includes fully leveraging the Windows Insider
Program to obtain user feedback and data insights on quality. We will
begin releasing 20H2 builds to Windows Insiders in the Slow ring today to those
Insiders who seek to opt in and new features will be offered in
future Windows Insider Preview builds as they are ready. Broad
availability of Windows 10, version 20H2 will begin later this calendar year
and they will provide more information as they get closer to the launch of this
next update. They look forward to hearing your feedback.
Cheers‼!
