Microsoft has already made it official the next major update of Windows 10 will be called Windows 10 November 2019 Update.
This next update is considered, at least at the nomenclature level, as a major update but its character is a minor update. Its news does not position it at the level of previous updates, such as October or May Update. However, it is the prelude to a very large update that will arrive in early 2020, with numerous developments under its arm.
We review what brings this new update of Windows 10 again, although we will not review their news, but explain why this is a large and small update at the same time.
The new Windows 10 update: small and large at the same time
he first thing we should understand is that this new update will share cumulative updates with Windows 10 May 2019 Update, therefore, it could be considered a very minor update with respect to its sisters. By not changing much how it works, you will continue to share updates with the previous update from Microsoft.
To get an idea of how minor this update is we must look at its compilation. The version of Windows 10 May 2019 Update is the build 18362.418, while the November 2019 Update is 18363.418. Only one digit changes, although it is true that from here to its launch in November there may be changes in the final version.
The main focus of this update will be to benefit users of Intel platforms; While its objective will be to improve the stability and performance of the system, this version will optimize how the instructions are processed by the CPU. For computers that have Intel this could result in an improvement in autonomy. According to Microsoft, the rotation system in the different CPU cores has been improved, which in the case of Intel have different characteristics in terms of voltage and frequencies.
Only Intel processors with Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 and 3.0 technology will benefit; Although Windows 10 already supported this technology, this update will bring optimizations by Microsoft in reference to the exact way in which the instructions are distributed to those enhanced cores.
Intel processors that have such technology are all Intel Core i5 and i7. Specifically, in addition to the Intel Core X-Series, Intel processors will benefit:
- Core i7-69xx / 68xx
- Core i9-7900X / i9-7920X / i9-7940X / i9-7960X / i9-7980XE / i7-7820X / i7-9800X
- Core i9-9820X / i9-99x0XE / i9-99x0X
- Xeon family E5-1600 v4
- The whole family of Intel tenth generation processors.
Other improvements are, for example, minor improvements in system notifications and in energy efficiency and battery life. You could almost consider this version as a Service Pack, so we will have to wait for the great update of the beginning of 2020 to see the real news from Microsoft about it.
We strongly recommend that you wait before installing the next major Windows 10 update and stay in the May Update for now. In addition to being able to confirm that there are really tangible developments in terms of stability and performance, it will also be convenient to stay in the previous update to avoid serious failures similar to those that happened with the disastrous Windows 10 October Update last year.
