Updated for 20H2: Windows 10 gets better with every release

With each release, Windows 10 improves from a security, productivity, and manageability perspective.  But the underlying message, and what makes it all possible, is the agility and unbelievable engineering innovation that simplifies the servicing process for the IT Pro. Delivering on my promise to make it a habit to share the better together slides with each release, the version attached to this post covers IT innovations through Windows 10, version 20H2--and the end of service (EOS) date for each feature set so you don't get too close to hitting EOS for any of the devices in your estate. 

Windows 10 improvements and innovations: version 1507 to version 1809

Windows 10 improvements and innovations: version 1903 to version 20H2

Stay tuned for the next update!

  • Hi Dave_Backman Joe_Lurie happy New Year, do you plan to update the PDF / picture with the additions of 21H1 and 21H2?

     

    Since there are now annual GAC instead SAC I would like to propose that the graphical feature stack is split as done with start of 1903, to maintain readability.

     

    Also it would be nice to have an additional one for Windows 11 to learn about the key difference between Windows 10 21H2 and Windows 11 21H2.

  • Dave_Backman do you know when an updated version of this will be available for 21H2? My customer loves this format, thank you for doing this!

      When I compare current Cortana to the Cortana that was available in the first version of Windows 10, it had a lot more features. my favorite was song detection.

      the Cortana we have in Windows 10 20H2 is so dull and unhelpful.

      I know what I want from an AI assistance but Cortana in Windows 10 20H2 fails to provide them.

      The team behind Cortana knows this perfectly well, a lot better than us, but for some reason they care more about the enterprise side of Cortana than consumer side.

      What I expect from Cortana on Windows 10 is to be at least on par with Google assistance on Android.

    Thank you for sharing and this is very valuable.

    This is very helpful when you want to proof why it is important to upgrade to new build.

      Reza_Ameri-Archived Is a great tool to illustrate a number of different  points around servicing... the importance, the agility of our engineering innovation, EOS dates, etc.  Will post the update with 20H2 as soon as its available...
