In this issue, the editor will bring you an example analysis of the differences between each version of Windows 10 and the number and preview of each major version. The article is rich in content and analyzes and narrates for you from a professional point of view. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Since the introduction of the Windows as a Service (WaaS) concept with the release of Windows 10, Microsoft has changed the way hardware devices get Windows updates. This means that Windows 10 users can get larger feature and version updates once or twice a year in addition to regular small updates that have been available in the past.

This update, of course, leads to frequent changes in the version number of Windows 10, which makes it more difficult for users to distinguish the major version names corresponding to different version numbers of Windows 10 compared with Windows 7 and Windows 8. For example, if you buy a new PC with Windows 10 installed, it will be more difficult than before to tell whether the version is a large version and whether it needs to be updated.

Major version numbers of Windows 10

In order to help Windows 10 users understand the relevant information about the version number, we will make some brief summary and introduction below. As of September 21, 2016, there are three major versions of Windows 10 and their corresponding minor versions of cumulative updates (Cumulative Update).

Windows 10 RTM

As the name implies, Windows 10 RTM is the version officially released by Microsoft when Windows 10 was launched in July 2015. Its initial version is Windows 10 build 10240, and the current cumulative update is Windows 10 build 10240.17113.

Windows 10 version 1511

This version is the Major update of Windows 10, which was released in November 2015, so it is also known as Windows 10 November Update by Microsoft.

The initial version of Windows 10 version 1511 is Windows 10 build 10586, and the current cumulative update number of * * is Windows 10 build 10586.589.

Windows 10 version 1607

This is the second major update of Windows 10, which was released on August 2, 2016, and is also known as the Windows 10th Anniversary Update (Anniversary Update).

The initial version of Windows 10 version 1607 is Windows 10 build 14393.10, and the current cumulative update number of * * is Windows 10 build 14393.189.

Windows Preview experience Program

In addition to the public version, Microsoft has launched a Windows Insider Preview program that can be tested and downloaded by any user to test new features and upcoming updates.

The Windows preview plan divides the test version of Windows 10 into slow (Slow Ring), release preview (Release Preview), and fast (Fast Ring) branches.

Slow Ring: you can get a relatively stable preview version of Windows 10 that has been tested by Microsoft, but there may still be some errors or malfunctions.

Release Preview: the preview update is not mainly for the 10 major versions of Windows, but only for the accumulated updates that will be released by specific Windows 10.

Fast Ring: you can get the preview version of Windows 10 released by Microsoft, and of course Fast Ring will be the preview version with the most Bug and problems.

The above is the difference between each version of Windows 10 shared by the editor and the example analysis of each major version number and preview.
