Here comes the next Windows 10 update: The May 2021 Update, due soon

Microsoft said Wednesday 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.

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. Microsoft hasn’t given a formal date for when that push will begin.

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.
