The upcoming Windows 10 Redstone 4 upgrade will bring substantial improvements to the system, and Microsoft promises that the installation it will only last 30 minutes.
The development team has made the fastest installation by reducing the time the installer has connected to the internet, as they have managed to carry most of the processes after the system has rebooted to the online stage.
In other words, most of the installation process of the upcoming system will be completed before the system reboots, and everything will happen in the background, so the machine will take less time offline.
But according to the company, this will not apply to all systems. Redstone 4 will be able to be installed in 30 minutes only on systems with compatible hardware. For everything else, you will need to go online to complete the installation.
Reducing installation time is a project that Microsoft started working on before Fall was developed Creators Update. In this particular update the time after restart was reduced to 38% and in total reached 51 minutes.
With further optimizations at Redstone 4, the average time will reach 30 minutes, 63% faster than the previous version.
"Because of these changes, the online phase of updating the operating system will take longer to complete.
However, this will not be perceived by most users of the operating system as the installation processes run with low priority. This way they will not have a big impact on its lifespan batterys or system performance", he says Microsoft on the insiders blog.
The Windows 10 Redstone 4 update is expected to be released in April.
