Windows 10 Version 1903 or 19H1 has been released today and is available for download and installation publicly. We will share the download links to the ISO files of this version in this article.
Learning from the Windows 10 Version 1809 disastrous experience where the update had to be pulled back from Windows Update due to the personal user files being deleted, Microsoft has given more time for testing to Windows 10 Version 1903.
At this time, Windows 10 Version 1903 is not installed automatically as Microsoft has changed the way feature updates will be installed. If you are running Windows 10 Version 1809, you will need to go to Windows Settings –> Update & Security and check for new updates manually.
The users who are using Windows 10 Version 1803 will be forced to upgrade to Windows 10 Version 1903 in June as the version 1803 will reach the end of support and will not receive any future updates. You can choose to block Windows 10 Version 1903 from installing.
