If they plan to release Windows 11 on October 5th, Doesn't it have to goto Release Preview first, then released for first batch of folks to get 11, so Imagine 21H2 probably soon, just no idea what date as yet

I think there are essentially 2 release previews now: Windows 10 21H2 in the actual Release Preview channel and Windows 11 in the Beta channel. What we don't have is a real beta build. Since Microsoft had to release 11 to manufacturers at least a few weeks ago, nothing is likely to happen with it that won't permit any installed 11 build to get brought up to date with a CU. In fact, it seems 22000 was well into its beta stage when it was first released to the DEV channel.

They did this a few times. No word and then, there it is and you didn't even see it come as if nothing happened. If build 1237 isn't the 21h2 package, It should show up as a feature update on the next build same date as Win 11, but I doubt that there will be any fanfare because what the heck is different than 21H1 ?

I wondered about that too but would they want to do anything else on W11 launch date.They did this a few times. No word and then, there it is and you didn't even see it come as if nothing happened.

Or than 20H1 for that matter. 20H1 (build 19041) CUs are used for builds up through 21H2. A little 24kB enablement file was all it took for a very quick "upgrade" of my main PC to 21H2. The only difference I've seen is some of the numbers winver reports.

There's certainly not much to this. I looked, but cannot find an answer to a question I have:
Is this the last 6-month update for Win10 now that they're releasing Win11? Cumulative updates for the next 5 years??

Hi there
IMO this is getting totally bonkers !!
That cpu : i7-7700k is good -- thank god in WWII the Axis powers hadn't got hold of one of those !!!
If modern Windows can't create a decent OS that won't accept those CPU's -- well perhaps we should go back to the old idea "The Natives are Revolting" !!
Security is important but in reality if you remove scams and user stupidity from the equation how many HOME computers really get genuinely hacked rather than people just getting scammed. I've nothing against Ms wanting to improve the security of its OS but there are "Ways and Means".
In any case as more and more workplace users are connected to cloud infrastructure for their "Office Workspaces" it probably doesn't matter much what OS is used on the HOME / Remote users machine if they can connect to the cloud infrastructure provided by the workplace. Then all security and hardware problems are shifted away from the consumer back to business where this stuff matters.
Cheers

jimbo, I'd definitely give you a thumbs-up for that well-written, well-reasoned post ... if they were permitted in the News forum.
So, thanks.
