Windows 10 21H1 ISOs are now available for Insiders


Today, Microsoft has published ISO images of the next feature update, but there’s a catch – you need to join the Insider program to get started with a clean installation of Windows 10 version 21H1.

Microsoft has already confirmed that version 21H1 comes with a few quality improvements and there are no new features (if you don’t consider the changes for the Windows Hello settings page).

How to download Windows 10 21H1 ISO images

To download Windows 10 21H1 ISO, follow these steps:

  1. Register or the Windows Insider program from here.
  2. Head to the download page on Microsoft’s website.
  3. Click on ‘Select edition’.
  4. Select “Windows 10 Insider Preview (Beta Channel)” – Build 19043.
    Build 19043 ISO
  5. Select the language (make sure that you select the language given in the Settings app > Language).
  6. Select “64-bit download”.

If you followed the above steps correctly, the download of the ISO file will start in your browser. Remember that the links will expire after 24 hours.

How to use Windows 10 21H1 ISO file

Once you’ve downloaded the media files, follow these steps:

  1. Open File Explorer and right-click on the .ISO file.
  2. From the pop-up menu, select the Mount option.
  3. If you don’t see the mount option, go to Settings > Apps > Default pages, and click on “Set defaults by app”. Locate “Windows Disc Image Burner” and set File Explorer set as default.
  4. After mounting the ISO, you should find a setup.exe file.
    Windows 10 Setup
  5. Double-click that file to install update the current installation of Windows.
  6. After the installation has finished, you’ll need to reboot your device and build number changes will automatically reflect in the Settings app.

It’s likely that you’ll see an ‘Insider preview’ watermark on your desktop if you install the preview of the update. The watermark will be removed when the update is released to everyone, which is currently scheduled for May/June.

While the spring 2021 update has been finalized, Microsoft still doesn’t recommend that you use it as your OS on your primary computer. The update is technically still a ‘preview’ and builds can be buggy.

If you still want to try out the update, there’s a safe easy way to test it: virtual machines (VMWare or Hyper-V). On Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise, you can use Hyper-V to create a virtual machine by following these steps:

  • Open the “Turn Windows features on or off” page and enable Hyper-V.
  • Reboot your device and search for Hyper-V Manager.

Once done, create a Virtual Switch for the External network and then configure your virtual machine.

भारत में तुलसी विवाह की पुरानी परम्परा रही हैl  तुलसी विवाह हिन्दू धर्म के अनुयायीयों द्वारा किया जाने वाला एक औपचारिक विवाह कार्यक्रम है जिसमें तुलसी नामक पौधे का विवाह शालीग्राम अथवा विष्णु अथवा उनके अवतार कृष्ण के साथ किया जाता है। हिन्दू धर्म में इसे मानसून का अन्त और विवाह के लिये उपयुक्त समय के रूप में माना जाता हैl तुलसी विवाह की कथा तुलसी विवाह की मान्यता और इसके पीछे की कथा बहुत महत्वपूर्ण हैl  प्राचीन काल में जलंधर नामक राक्षस ने चारों तरफ़ बड़ा उत्पात मचा रखा था। वह बड़ा वीर तथा पराक्रमी था। उसकी वीरता का रहस्य था, उसकी पत्नी वृंदा का पतिव्रता धर्म। उसी के प्रभाव से वह विजयी बना हुआ था। जलंधर के उपद्रवों से परेशान देवगण भगवान विष्णु के पास गए तथा रक्षा की गुहार लगाई। उनकी प्रार्थना सुनकर भगवान विष्णु ने वृंदा का पतिव्रता धर्म भंग करने का निश्चय किया। उन्होंने जलंधर का रूप धर कर छल से वृंदा का स्पर्श किया। वृंदा का पति जलंधर, देवताओं से पराक्रम से युद्ध कर रहा था लेकिन  वृंदा का सतीत्व नष्ट होते ही मारा गया। जैसे ही वृंदा का सतीत्व भंग...

How Windows 10 v1909 is different

Microsoft recently  launched  Windows 10 November 2019 Update (version 1909) and the company is gradually pushing the update to devices in stages. The  November 2019 Update is being offered  via Windows Update, Update Assistant, and as well as Media Creation Tool. The update is available for consumers running the May 2019 Update and as well as the older versions of the OS. Microsoft says the update is labelled as “Feature update to Windows 10, version 1909” and it’s for seekers only, which means users who manually check for updates will get it. Windows 10 version 1909 is a fairly minor update and it is installed via an ‘enablement package’ on May 2019 Update computers. Windows 10 v1909’s enablement package (quick-to-install ‘master switch’) simply activates the new features on May 2019 Update PCs. During an online  discussion  on Thursday, Microsoft’s Windows Insider team revealed that the November 2019 Update is smaller than any version...
