    There’s a reason why you don’t see “service pack” updates any longer.

    I am often asked why I recommend 21H2 when there are other releases of Windows still under support. The concern stems from the not unreasonable sense that a feature update is massively disruptive and from the reasonable desire to put off that pain as long as possible.

    But after so many years of updates that represented total swaps of Windows for a new version (remember service packs?), Windows 10 has brought welcome changes.
