We already know What will the next big Windows 10 update officially bear its name?, which will allow us to leave behind the current version 21H1 launched last May: Windows 10 November 2021 Update (the one known until now as ‘Windows 10 21H2’). In fact, although the company has named it, in Windows Update it will appear as Windows 10, version 21H2. Nothing old names like 1806 or 2004.
The company has announced that users of the Windows Insider program are already offering Build 19044.1288, which they believe is the final version. Therefore, it is no longer in the beta channel or development, but on the Release Preview Channel. If you are in the program and want to receive it, you just have to go to Windows Update and click on check for updates.

These are the new features of the version that can now be downloaded for clean installations
In addition to sending it through Windows Update, Microsoft has made available to users of the Windows Insider program a link to download the Windows 10 November 2021 Update ISO file. Thus, we can test the new version of the system in clean installations.
We don’t know how long it will start to reach ordinary Windows 10 users, but In 2019, November Update arrived on the 13th of the month, so we’re probably not too far from being able to count on her. Microsoft revealed a long time ago that Windows 10 support will end in 2025, but what it has not done at the moment is to inform how far there will be biannual updates in its “old” operating system.
Windows 10 November 2021 Update it’s a big update, but deep down small, despite the name change. And it is something that beyond knowing to see Microsoft focused on Windows 11, it is seen by its list of official news:
- The support for WPA3 H2E standards to improve Wi-Fi security.
- Windows Hello for Business now simplified passwordless deployment models (Cloud Trust) to improve uptime.
- WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) will receive support for GPU ComputeThis means that WSL will be able to take advantage of graphics card hardware acceleration to perform intensive tasks, something that could significantly improve the performance of WSL containers and make life easier for developers working with machine learning and data science .
