14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft is currently working on several big changes for Windows 10, with the update codenamed Sun Valley expected to bring a massive overhaul of the operating system in the fall of this year.
And while the company doesn’t talk too much about what’s to come for Windows 10, Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President Yusuf Mehdi has recently teased exciting news for the operating system, suggesting some big announcements are in the queue for the upcoming months.
“It was awesome to be back on campus this week for the first time in over a year to record a virtual keynote. This one was for Microsoft employees only, but excited for all the Windows and Surface updates we have to share with you in the coming months…stay tuned,” he said in a LinkedIn post as noticed by WL.
What’s next for Windows 10?
In addition to the Sun Valley update that’s projected to land in the second half of the year, Microsoft is also preparing to begin the production rollout of Windows 10 version 21H1.
The first wave of devices will get the update as soon as this month, though worth knowing is this release would only include minor improvements, as the focus is on under the hood refinements.
“Based on feedback and learnings during the past year of extensive remote work, learning and play, version 21H1 will be delivered with servicing technology (like that used for the monthly update process and how 20H2 was delivered),” Microsoft said.
“Windows 10, version 21H1 will have a scoped set of features improving security, remote access and quality. The features we are releasing in this update are focused on the core experiences that customers have told us they’re relying on most right now. So, we optimized this release to support our customers’ most pressing needs.”
Windows insiders have already been provided with the final build of Windows 10 version 21H1.
