Furthermore, the above changes aren’t in this initial preview build, and these features will be applied in future preview versions as and when they’re finished. In other words, there’s a limited set of folks testing right now. The 21H2 update is now being rolled out to Windows 10 testers who were shifted over to the Release Preview channel from Beta due to their PCs failing to meet the system requirements for Windows 11. This update includes the improvements from Build 19044. In short, there’s nothing here for consumers to get excited about. Windows Insider Program Team published OctoHello Windows Insiders, today we’re releasing Windows 10, version 21H2 Build 19044.1320 (KB5006738) to the Release Preview Channel for those Insiders who are on Windows 10, version 21H2.

That includes better Wi-Fi security via WPA3 H2E standards, work on Windows Hello for Business to support “simplified passwordless deployment models”, plus a heavyweight change as follows: “GPU compute support in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows (EFLOW) deployments for machine learning and other compute intensive workflows.” 21H2 means businessĢ1H2 will be focused on productivity and security, meaning much of the changes will be about tightening the defenses of Windows 10, and adding bits and pieces for business users.

This means that anyone running the May 2020 Update or newer will be able to migrate in a snap with a swift installation and upgrade process, because that version (v2004) and onwards are essentially the same core build of the OS.
