(Video) Windows 10 version 21H1 - An In-Place Upgrade from ISO [DEMO]
A few weeks ago, Microsoft finally announced Windows 10 version 21H1 after many months of silence. As expected, it's a minor update that will come in the form of an enablement package, just like version 20H2 did.
It's the second minor update in a row because Windows 10X was supposed to ship last fall, and it was delayed.
In this video, I am doing an in-place upgrade using a Windows 10 21H1 ISO. This, of course, is just a test, so PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL THIS NEW VERSION ON A REAL HARDWARE! MESSING UP WITH THE PRE-RELEASE BUILDS CAN BE RISKY!

If you want to start testing out Windows 10 version 21H1, you can do it right now, and it's really easy to get started. You just need to do two things:
1. Enroll your PC in the Beta channel of the Windows Insider Program. You can do this by going to Settings 🡺 Update and Security 🡺 Windows Insider Program.
2. Check for updates, and then when the option is presented, opt into installing Windows 10 version 21H1.
That's it! It's not just it super easy, but it's also super fast. As mentioned earlier, it's just an enablement package, which is a very small update that bumps up the build number to 19043, and lights up some features. However, currently, the update doesn't include any new features. But in the future, It will simply light up the features that are already there.
According to Microsoft, 21H1 will go live some time in the first half of this year, and when that happens, all supported versions of Windows 10 - 2004, 20H2, and 21H1 - will get the exact same cumulative updates. So those production versions are getting the same bits as Insiders; it's just that Insiders have the enablement package that lights up the new features.
Microsoft is also currently working on a much larger update for Windows 10, codenamed Sun Valley, that will introduce a rejuvenated UI design, new features, and updated in-box apps. This update is expected to launch this fall as version 21H2.
