The next major Windows 10 upgrade, the May 2021 Update, has arrived

In late April, Microsoft said that it has finalized the next major version of Windows 10, formally named the Windows 10 May 2021 Update, for release in the near future. On Wednesday, May 18, Microsoft delivered on that promise as it began rolling the next big Windows update out to all PCs. 

The Windows 10 May 2021 Update will also be known as version 21H1. It will probably appear as “21H1” when users launch the winver command after Microsoft begins pushing the update to client PCs. 

Previously, in a blog post announcing the Windows 10 May 2021 Update, senior program manager Brandon LeBlanc said Microsoft is sending the final build, Build 19043.928, to the Release Preview channel of its Windows Insider program. The Release Preview channel is the most conservative of Microsoft’s Insider channels, the place where users can try a final, well-polished build of the next Windows 10 feature release a bit early. Microsoft invited testers to try out the final build by joining the Windows Insider program and downloading Windows 10 21H1. Now, Microsoft has completed that testing and is deploying Windows 10 21H1 to all PCs.
