H2E stands for "Hash-to-Element" and is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Protected Access III (WPA3) standard. When Microsoft shared details about the feature update back in July, it outlined a grand total of three "scoped" features that will be enabled with Windows 10 version 21H2.įirst, the OS will support WPA3 H2E standards for increased Wi-Fi security. Windows 10 21H2 does not contain a crippled taskbar unlike Windows 11Ĭoming over to what features are being lit up, there's not a whole lot. This update will simply light up certain features that are already there. You won't get any actual new features downloaded to your computer. What this essentially means is that the "new" features available with this update are also present in version 21H1 before it, but in a dormant state. Let's be clear: Windows 10 version 21H2 is an enablement package, just like version 21H1 was for version 20H2 before it. Under Windows 10's release cycle, the company releases two feature updates per year, and this is the second of them. Microsoft's latest Windows 10 refresh is a follow-up to version 21H1, that was released back in May. That said, it is important to understand what Windows 10 version 21H2 is and what it brings to the table. As such, it's a relatively safer bet to update to Windows 10 version 21H2 if your PC does not support Windows 11.
While users may be able to force install Windows 11 after signing a waiver on unsupported hardware, it's possible that they won't receive security updates.
Version 21H2 is supposed to be a relatively minor upgrade but it is important to note that it is one of the two paths forward for PCs that do not meet Microsoft's requirements for Windows 11. In fact, Microsoft might even decide to give its big OS refresh a few more weeks under the spotlight before letting people know that they also have Windows 10 version 21H2 as an option. This also makes sense from the perspective of Windows 11's staggered rollout, which began on October 5 ( check out our review here). Windows 10 version 20H2 came out on October 20, 2020, which means that we can expect version 21H2 to arrive in a similar timeframe as well.
