What’s The Latest Version Of Windows 10?

With the release of Windows 10, Microsoft introduced the Windows operating system as a service concept. In this concept, rather than releasing a new version of Windows every three to four years, Microsoft regularly releases updates to Windows 10 to add new features and options to the operating system.

As Windows 10 is a service, updates are regularly released. In addition to releasing quality and critical updates, Microsoft releases major updates called feature updates twice a year to add new features to the operating system. Generally, the first feature update of the year is released in the month of April or May, and the second feature update comes towards the end of September or at the beginning of October month.

It’s worth noting that only feature updates change Windows 10’s version number, not regular updates.

When Microsoft starts rolling out a newer version of Windows 10 to the general public, it might not be available to everyone immediately. Since there are hundreds of PCs running Windows 10, Microsoft cannot push feature updates to every PC at a time via Windows Update. It might take a few months to appear on your PC.
