Security News > 2021 > March > Windows 10 21H1 is almost here, released to enterprise for testing
The Windows 10 21H1 update is now available for testing by enterprise customers before general availability through the Windows Insider Program for Business.
Microsoft started rolling out a preview of the Windows 10 21H1 feature update to Windows Insiders in the Beta channel last month.
Devices enrolled in the Insider program for enterprises can now get Windows 10, version 21H1 via all standard channels, including Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services, Azure Marketplace, or by downloading the ISO file.
Windows 10 21H1 is released as an "Enablement package" to devices currently running Windows 10 2004 or 20H2. This allows turning on features lying dormant in the previous versions for a speedy update process requiring a minimal install and very little bandwidth.
Windows 10 21H1 will come with no hardware requirement changes compared to 20H2, and drivers compatible with Windows 10 2004 systems will be digitally signed for 21H1 using the same signature properties.
Some of the new features added to Windows 10 21H1 include Windows Hello multi-camera support, Windows Defender Application Guard improvements, and Windows Management Instrumentation Group Policy Service performance improvements.
