14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently revealed the dates of the upcoming Build 2021 developer conference, though an official announcement in this regard isn’t yet available.
The Redmond-based software giant has published the official dates of Build 2021 on its events website, confirming that this year’s developer conference would take place from May 25-27.
Although the company doesn’t say anything about whether this is a live event or a digital one, there’s a chance the whole thing would only take place online for obvious reasons.
The official Build website still doesn’t include any information as to when the 2021 conference is projected to take place, still pointing to the 2020 sessions that you can watch online.
What to expect at Build
Build is typically the event where Microsoft gets in touch with developers from all over the world, but at the same time, it’s also the right moment to provide the world with an early look at some highly anticipated updates.
For example, Microsoft typically uses the Build event to showcase improvements coming to its Windows 10 operating system, as the company previews the next feature updates that it plans to release.
This year’s Build is just the right moment for Microsoft to offer a thorough look at the Windows 10 version 21H2 feature update, which is due in the fall of this year and is believed to come with substantial improvements, including lots of new features and a visual overhaul.
At this point, the next Windows 10 feature update is version 21H1, and it is due in April or May, with Microsoft already confirming it’d be just a minor release with the focus on under the hood improvements. Version 21H1 is already available for testers as part of the Windows Insider program, with the RTM likely to be completed in the next few weeks.
