Key notes
It’s almost a month now since Microsoft accidentallyrevealedthatWindows10 21H1 would hit the Fast ring toward the end of June 2020. Well, the build is likely to go live today, according to a tweet by Alumia.
Yesterday,build 20H2left the Fast ring, which means that the channel has or will get a new occupant soon. But what features is 21H1 bringing?

Twitter user Alumia-Italia, who has build credibility for leaking accurate prerelease info onWindowsand other Microsoft apps, posted a screenshot ofWindows10 21H1 download options.
The image includes the preview build’s number, 21050.

Alumia adds that 21H1 is going live today, and the package will include ISOs for the OS.
Well,speculationsthat Microsoft would push 21H1 toWindowsinsiders around this week started surfacing last week.
As you may know, 21H1 is a majorWindows10 update, unlike 20H2, which hit the Slow ring yesterday. The build is likely to offer a much-improved user interface with a new Start menu, for starters.
But not everything is clear about what specifically 21H1 brings. For example, will it offerinsidersan opportunity to test Win32 app containers?
Containerization would be a major change forWindows. That’s because it’s a revolutionary architecture that allows apps a significant level of independence from the operating system.
Originally, the container technology was coming toWindows10X. But rumors have it that such core features may be available in other versions ofWindows10 too.
What’s more, Microsoft appears to be shifting away from the tradition of tying new features to specific OS releases. As such, if you test any new feature in, say, 21H1, it may not necessary become available with the release of that specific build.
In other words, even ifWindows10 21H1 preview build 21050 supported Win32 containers, the feature could end up in another release version of Windows.
