it was mentioned that organizations can run Windows 10 and Windows 11 side by side. I see that Microsoft will continue to support at least one Windows 10 Semi-Annual Channel until October 14, 2025. I also see that there is already a Windows 10 version 21H2 in the works. Will Windows 10 continue to use the nomenclature 2 digit year followed by 1 or 2nd half. If so what will the nomenclature for for Windows 11 be.

Our current marketing nomenclature uses the year (e.x. 22) followed by the half of the hear that it was released in (H1 or H2). To this end we will have two releases in the Fall: Windows 11, 21H2 AND a Windows 10, 21H2. At this time we have no plans to change this nomenclature. We hope this answers your question. 🙂

    Whats the best place to find the difference in the registry for Win11? We usually go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion but the "CurrentVersion" and "DisplayVersion" are currently identical to Win10 20H2. Even the product Name in Windows 11 still says "Windows 10 Enterprise"! Thank you!
