Windows 10: Here’s when the big Windows 10 redesign could begin rolling out

Microsoft has completed the rollout of the Windows 10 October 2020 Update, or version 20H2, and the company is expected to finalize the next feature update. In other words, it’s all just a matter of days now until the very announcement from Microsoft, but as usual, the whole thing will happen gradually.

Just like last year, Microsoft is preparing two feature updates for Windows 10 – version 21H1 and version 21H2. In addition to the feature updates, Microsoft is also planning to announce Windows 10X, Cloud PC, and ability to run Android apps natively.

The next update for Windows 10 is likely to be version 21H1 and it will include quality improvements. The big update of the year is internally codenamed “Sun Valley” and it will be officially known as “version 21H2”.

According to code references found in the preview builds, Microsoft could be planning to finalize the RTM build – the final release candidate of the update – likely this June.

That doesn’t mean Windows 10 21H2 (Sun Valley) update would be ready for public rollout in June. The apparent plan for 21H2 is to hold it for a release in October or November, with it hanging around in the Insider preview rings.

The good news is that you don’t have to wait until June or October as we’ll see some early looks at the redesign in the upcoming preview builds, though a more formal announcement or teaser is not expected anytime soon.

Earlier this week, a job listing confirmed that the upcoming changes to the desktop will be of a ‘sweeping’ and ‘reinvigorating’ nature. The job listing also confirmed that Microsoft is building iconic experiences for the future of Windows.

Reports suggest that Microsoft is testing UI improvements for the Start Menu, Action Center, Taskbar, File Explorer, and more. While Microsoft is working on the rumoured redesign upgrade, there’s no confirmation how many new features will be announced.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 Upgrade Begins Rolling Out in Waves

Thank you for this. I am downloading WIndows 10 now. ^_^

I have another question however. I use Windows 8.1 Enterprise edition and I can't upgrade to Windows 10 according to Microsoft. However, I do have a spare Windows 7 Ultimate key, is there a tool I can authenticate this key, then install Windows 10 and after that, use that key without me having to install Windows 7 Ultimate first?

If anyone knows, please let me know? Thank you *Big Grin
