Microsoft has officially confirmed that Windows 11 is the next big release, which led many to believe that the company would abandon Windows 10 to focus on its new operating system. This does not seem to be the case.
In fact, the company from Redmond reports that while Windows 11 is expected to be released in the fall, along with the 21H2 update for Windows 10.
Of course, if the focus shifts to Windows 11, the changes that the 21H2 update brings to Windows 10 will probably not be as significant as they used to be.
However, Microsoft says it will continue to support Windows 10 and new features will continue to appear as part of feature updates.
"Today, more than 1,3 billion monthly active devices are using Windows 10. As we move to Windows 11, we will continue to support you if you are using Windows 10. In fact, we will release Windows 10, version 21H2 in the second half of 2021 with new updates to current features that will enable hybrid working like Universal Print and improve management and deployment capabilities, like Windows Autopilot," the company says .
Of course, Windows 11 will be the operating system recommended by Microsoft.
\ ”We're committed to making Windows 11 work for you, on your terms. That includes the flexibility to upgrade eligible PCs to Windows 11 as soon as the end of this year, and to have both Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices managed together in Microsoft Endpoint Manager; or you can update to Windows 10, version 21H2 to stay on an updated, secure, and supported version of Windows 10 as you plan your Windows 11 journey. \ ”
Both Windows 11 and Windows 10 in version 21H2 will be released in the fall of this year.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
