Microsoft recently released the Windows 10 May 2020 Update build, or the version 2004, to insiders enrolled in the Release Preview ring.
In other words, the development of Windows 10 May 2020 Update is now complete and its release in the Release Preview ring is the last step before Microsoft officially launches.
What will happen next?
First of all, we should expect that the company to release some cumulative updates to Release Preview Ring Insiders before officially releasing version 2004. The company will continue to improve the new feature update before everyone gets it.
All of these improvements will be included in the ISO of the Windows 10 May 2020 Update, although Microsoft could release a cumulative update to make any corrections available to everyone. This means that your device could receive at least one cumulative update after you install the May 2020 Update, and it is obviously recommended that you install it for the best experience possible.
The release of Windows 10 May 2020 Update will happen gradually, as the company is used to releasing new updates in waves capabilities. This makes sense because it gives Microsoft more time to find bugs and fix them.
However, there will be alternative download methods, such as ISO and the Media Creation Tool, which will allow users to download and install the May update without having to wait to see it through Windows Update.
Most likely, the rollout will take at least two months, so if you're waiting for Windows Update, just in case problems software and hardware on your device, you may have to wait a little longer to upgrade.
Typically, Microsoft advises everyone to wait for the update to appear in Windows Update, as this method prevents potential problems and ensures (as much as possible) that you get the correct update. However, the Media Creation Tool or the use of ISO to install the update could allow users to skip any compatibility checks and install the update.
Windows Insider will continue as normal, as Fast ring is currently being used to test features that do not have a specific release date.
If you want to try the Windows 10 May 2020 Update, you can sign up for Windows Insider and install the version available in the Release Preview ring. Of course, this is not recommended on devices you want stability and reliability.
