“19H1” will be the seventh system update since Windows 10 released in 2015 (referred to as “Win10.7”) and eventually become the eighth official version. Of course, it’s important to note that Microsoft will reopen the registration of the Skip Ahead channel in a few weeks, and if it doesn’t participate on time, it will “downgrade” to the Fast Ring channel.
Microsoft: Skip Ahead is open for the next feature update of Windows 10
In the Windows 10 Insider Build 17713 released two weeks ago, Microsoft made a reset adjustment to Skip Ahead. Today Windows Insider officially released a tweet saying that the “Skip Ahead” channel is open in the next Windows 10 release. This means that the project will separate two branches in the next period, RS5_Release for all users, and RS_Prerelease for a small number of Skip Ahead users enjoy Redstone 6 branch content in advance.
Skip Ahead is now open! #WindowsInsiders can now choose to “skip ahead” to the next feature update of Windows 10. Please note: Only a limited number of Insiders will be allowed to skip ahead and once that limit has been reached, Skip Ahead will be closed. pic.twitter.com/Uw1xvPntDf
