Microsoft will continue to release Windows 10 feature updates, such as Windows 10 21H2, through October 2025 to allow businesses and consumers time to switch to Windows 11.
As most of the development for new features is going into Windows 11, Microsoft will be releasing limited features for Windows 10 going forward.
Limited release of Windows 10 21H2. While many may be excited to try out the Windows 10 21H2 release, Microsoft is not making it available to everyone at this point.
For the initial test, Microsoft is only making the new Windows 10 21H2 feature update available to Windows Insiders who were moved from the 'Beta' channel to the 'Release' because their PC did not meet the system requirements for Windows 11.
What's coming in Windows 10 21H2. Windows 10 21H2 is not a big release compared to Windows 11 but does include some new and interesting security and business features.
Windows 10 21H2 also brings GPU compute, the #1 most requested feature, to the Windows Subsystem for Linux and Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows.
