Security & Remote Work Improvements
This release will include an update to Windows Defender Application Guard that will improve opening speeds for certain documents, amongst other performance improvements.

How To Install Windows 10 Version 21H1
This upgrade is currently available for commercial pre-release validation. That means that businesses can install the update on commercial devices, which Microsoft defines as a PC not running the Home edition of Windows 10, is being managed by an IT administrator (via Microsoft Endpoint Manager or a third-party MDM tool), or if the device has a volume license key, a CommericalID, or is joined to a domain. So, if you’re a business user, you can access Windows 10 version 21H1Â using Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), and Azure Marketplace, or you can download an ISO file.
