The next annual Windows 11 update is about to be implemented, since Microsoft is now doing the final preparations to unleash the 25H2 update.
Latest Windows reports That Microsoft is now carrying Windows 11 25h2 to its servers and that the last compilation (version 26200.6584) is now the final candidate RTM (launch to manufacturers).
What this means is that the 25h2 update is made and is ready for PC manufacturers (to install in new machines in the future), and given this, it must be available to all those who run Windows 11 very soon.
In theory, that could mean that we see that Windows 11 25h2 is implemented in a week, or possibly two, but it is surely imminent (except any last minute disaster). Previously we anticipated the end of September or Deployment of the beginning of OctoberThen this fits that timeline. It also means that the most recent version of Windows 11 will be implemented before the curtain falls to Windows 10 support deadline In mid -October.
Windows Last also points out something interesting in which the best of 25h2 could first land for Windows 11 24h2 users. Confused? Let me explain.
ANALYSIS: A truly warm update
As Microsoft has made clear before, the 25H2 The update is a minor update. All the features for this update are already in place within Windows 11 24h2, and 25h2 is what is known as a “authorization package” that simply avoids the switch to activate those capabilities.
However, the turn with 25h2 is that all these characteristics are also reaching 24h2. The greatest change with 25h2 is the Redesigned start menu that optimizes design On a single panel (and allows you to get rid of the recommended section, a great step forward in terms of dispensing with Several Microsoft push -ups and bits and promotional pieces).
This reviewed start menu will reach 25h2 and 24h2 through a stage deployment, Microsoft told Windows Last, which means that it may not arrive for those who take the update of 25h2 immediately, and people left in 24h2 could even get it first (it is a roll of dice when it appears, at least to a certain extent).
As Windows Last clarifies, each new incoming feature for 25h2, the starting, including starting menu will reach 24h2, which is an unusual situation. (At least as far as I can remember, anyway, although some features can be delivered to the previous Windows incarnation, there is usually something exclusively new for those who perform the update).
Now you may be asking: What is the point of 25h2, then? Well, inevitably, version 25h2 will not be exactly The same as 24h2. I would be surprised if there were not some minor additions in terms of new exclusive features of this latest version, frankly, although only small bits and pieces.
And even if not, it is likely that a job will be done under the hood with 25h2 to soften the internal operation of Windows 11, and perhaps even increase the performance in some aspects. Granted, in the last front, the early tests suggest that There is no performance elevation with 25h2But that comparative evaluation did not use the final version of the update (not quite), and does not rule out certain interface bits that potentially run without problems.
It will also have a longer timeline for support in 25h2 (an extra year), but ultimately, there is not much to tempt Windows 11 users to update here. The result is that, although the next annual update of Windows 11 is certainly imminent, there will be not a hurry to obtain it, since not long ago.
And in fact, the greatest change, that new starting menu design could reach those who stay in 24h2 first, anyway: it is the fate of the raffle, depending on its particular hardware and software configuration and how the winds of update are blowing.
