Windows 10: Windows 10 version 2004 is the next update, arriving next year

Microsoft recently shipped Windows 10 November 2019 Update and the company is now preparing the next version for consumers. Microsoft says that they’re gearing up to finalize the next update codenamed ’20H1′, and the company is also preparing 20H2 for testers.

Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 10 20H1 will be known as Windows 10 version 2004 when it is shipped to the mainstream consumers in early 2020

It’s worth noting that Microsoft has yet to announce the public name of the Windows 10 version 2004. If the current naming scheme is continued, the update could be named after its launch month. For example, it could land as April/May 2020 Update or something else, but the version will remain 2004.

Previous Windows 10 spring releases version numbers included ’03’ in the end, but Microsoft is opting to use ‘version 2004’ for Windows 10 20H1 update to avoid confusion with Windows Server 2003.

Windows 10 20H1 ‘version 2004’ update is not finished yet and the firm will continue to ship preview builds in the coming weeks. According to previous leaks, RTM is expected to be signed off in December and the update will begin rolling out to consumers in early 2020, possibly before May.

“Eagle-eyed Windows Insiders will notice that as of this build, 20H1 officially shows it is version 2004. We have chosen to use 2004 as the version to eliminate confusion with any past product names (such as Windows Server 2003),” Microsoft noted.
