Security News > 2021 > February > Windows 10 21H1 coming soon, here are the new features

Earlier this week, Microsoft officially announced the Windows 10 version 21H1 update and it'll begin rolling out to consumers in the first half of this year.

It's not a huge release and it does not bring a major overhaul to the operating system, but reports suggest that new features and UI improvements will be introduced later this year as part of 'Sun Valley' update.

It's also likely that existing features will be improved using 'Windows Feature Experience Packs,' which is a new way to update and improve the OS without major feature updates.

Based on references spotted by BleepingComputer, Microsoft is slowly adding all the features/improvements to Windows 10 May 2020 Update and October 2020 Update via the monthly cumulative updates.

"To get the update via enablement package, Microsoft says users should be running Windows 10 version 2004 or version 20H2 with the latest cumulative updates. Once you've installed the cumulative updates, you'll be able to grab the feature update via Settings > Update & Security > 'Download & install now".

The version 21H1 update is currently available to those in the Insider program, so the easiest and safest way to download and install the next feature update is to join the Windows Insider program and enroll in the Release Preview Channel.
