The 21H2 update will be gradually offered to Windows 10 users via Windows Update over the coming weeks. Nothing, frankly, that is going to be noticed by the vast majority of Windows 10 users. The limited set of new features added to Windows 10 include support for a more secure Wi-Fi standard, improved support for password-free logins, and better GPU performance for those using the Windows Subsystem for Linux. There’s certainly not much for Windows 10 users to get excited about in the 21H2 update.


The promise to support “at least one version” until that final cut-off date suggests that not all four of those will make it to the finish line, although it seems highly unlikely that Microsoft would cut off the most used Home version before that 2025 deadline. The latter two have longer support cycles, with Microsoft promising to support this latest November release for 18 months on Home and Pro, and for 30 months on Enterprise and Education. There are several versions of Windows 10, including Home and Pro, as well as Enterprise and Education editions. Microsoft had previously stated that Windows 10 would be supported until late 2025, but the new blog post states “we will continue to support at least one version of Windows 10 through Oct 14, 2025”.
