Microsoft changes Windows 10 feature update for commercial customers
According to Microsoft’s official blog, the software giant changed the update mode of Windows 10: twice a year, the big update was changed to a big update once a year, it will release a big update in the spring, and a small update will be released in the fall. Microsoft wrote:
For commercial customers, here is the impact:
- If devices in your environment are running Windows 10, version 1903, you can take advantage of this new servicing option to update from Windows 10, version 1903 to 19H2 and benefit from a reduced file size and faster installation time.
- For those devices in your environment running Windows 10, version 1809 or earlier versions of Windows 10, the update process will remain unchanged. You will have the option to update to 19H2 just as you did with previous releases.
- As a September-targeted release, 19H2 will be serviced for 30 months[*] for those devices running Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Education editions.
There are two types of Windows testers, one is Fast Ring, which is the first to get updates and new features; the other is Slow Ring, which is updated before it is released after a serious bug fix.
