Happy that they are coordinating with 11 and doing only 1 update per year! It looks like support is also being extended for Enterprise and Education versions which is nice.

If they're still doing regular "feature updates" to Win10, then the Win11 upgrade, what with it's UI changes, and new incompatibilities, doesn't seem worth it.

Is Win10 21H2 fully-compatible with Alder Lake now? Or must one move to Win11 for that?

Fastest update I've seen. Took about three minutes.

It seems like, at least for now, that Thread Director will be sub-par to Win 11's built in functionality. This will really affect laptops more than desktops as I understand it. But, other issues, like breaking older games, etc., may just be a permanent fixture for older software.

Hoping for security updates only at this point. Let ppl who want newest and greatest move to Windows 11.

Pretty sure they will eventually update the Win 10 scheduler to be fully compatible with Alder Lake .... it will cost M$ a lot of potential sales if they don't.

After the Ryzen patch a lot of stuff runs slightly faster on 11 with AMD chips too so lets hope for sooner rather than later!

Hope so.
