Neowin reports that the first big feature update to Windows 10, Threshold 2 is reportedly slated for a November 2 launch



Since Microsoft adopted a faster paced update cadence for Windows 10, we've seen a flurry of cumulative updates and new Insider preview builds that have mostly focused on bug fixes and general performance enhancements. A report is now suggesting that the first major feature update, being dubbed 'Threshold 2', is to soon make its way to Windows 10 in November.

While Threshold 2 is the internal code name for the update, Microsoft is expected to officially label it the fall update at launch, designating the version number as 1511 ('15' for the year and '11' for the month). Users can update to this version of Windows 10 directly from the RTM release, without having to install any prior builds or updates. Similarly, those upgrading from previous versions of Windows will directly jump to the fall update, foregoing the RTM version.
