[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Final Build 19041>>>19045 (PC) [20H1>>>22H2 vb_release]

I did not succeed in my attempts. I'll have to make a clean install.

Very grateful, Enthousiast!

 

Now that, 21H2 is round in the corner, & all the dev's & people's excitement & interest shifted towards the Win11, has anyone got any idea what will be released next for Win10? Didi MSFT hint or released any statement so far (officially or unofficially) regarding the future version of Win10?

 

Next Month (Oct.) we will get the Oct. 2021 Update (21H2). Then 22H1 next Spring (May 2022 Update) ?

 

IKTR, bt am concern about major updates, without the EP

It's been 2 yrs since MSFT released a proper/major version, the last one was 20H1 (19041)

from that perspective, am asking if MSFT planning anything new, or just continue to publish EP once in every 6M, a'with regular LCU(s).

If anyone got any (inside) info/speculation or MSFT ever hinted anything regarding that.

 

<<<<< Speculation Ahead>>>>>

I don't think that the plan to support Windows 10 until 2025 is solid. I bet that there are no current written contracts (between MSFT and Businesses) that state that there will be Business support for Windows 10 until 2025. I also suspect that there are a lot of companies that have significant investments in IT assets and they simply cannot afford to immediately invest in new hardware to run Windows 11. This means that Windows 11 is probably initially designed to target the consumer market. OEM versions of Windows 11 will arrive with new consumer hardware that can run Windows 11.

The business and consumer markets are two separate worlds. Sometimes, I wonder if MSFT is fully cognizant of this fact. While watching the Windows 11 videos, it just didn't seem like there was much concern about how Windows 11 would impact corporate customers such as the military, the government sector, healthcare, etc.

With the shifting of development resources to the Windows 11 team, and the pattern of releasing an EP every six months, I don't know what would motivate MSFT to change that pattern for Windows 10. I suspect that there will be more and more market-pressure to purchase hardware that runs Windows 11. When we eventually see the development of software (like Office) that will ONLY run on Windows 11, then that will be a clear indicator that the "heat" is on to buy Windows 11.

 

A lot can happen in 4 years. I'm not looking forward to Windows 10 version 1904x.4XXX. Can you imagine how long that update might take to install?

 

Hi, Windows Update installed Kb5005101 but the compilation is still 19044.1200 ?

Spoiler: 1

 

Well, it is strange. I will download the Kb5005101 in .MSU format and will try again.

 

Installed .msu from update overview post.

They've been using PSF to reduce the time consumption of update since ~2003, though it's only being widely used after Windows 10. In fact, 1904x updates way faster than Windows 7.

 

I have a celeron n3160 powered laptop with 1909 (18363.1556 as winver says) that sometimes pops up a notification that is version no longer supported etc, which is true. But wu does not show any update for 20h1 or beyond.
Right now, all I have is the iso of 21h1. Can I upgrade it directly to that version or I should go to 20h1, then to 20h2 and then to 21h1? Or maybe install some enablement package and let wu do the rest?

 

2004 (20H1), 2009 (20H2) and 21H1 are technically all the same, MS has not issued truly new builds since spring 2020.

Generally, you can always use the latest ISO for upgrading, no need for intermediate upgrades. This is almost universally true, in the Microsoft world.
