Windows 10 Versions History
Windows 10 (codenamed Threshold, also referred as Windows 9 or Windows TH) is the successor to Windows 8.1 released on 29 July 2015. It was believed to be called Windows 9, but this was revealed to be mistaken eventually, on 30 September 2014. Rumours have spread that "Windows 9" was skipped because the name triggered code for Windows 9x. Windows 10 intends to address some of the complaints that were made in response to the user interface in Windows 8. Windows 10 is a revolutionary release, being the first to fully use Windows Update to provide features and fixes to the masses much faster, while also providing a group that people who want to test its future releases can join (referred to as the "Windows Insider Program"). Windows 10 gained largely positive reviews and has easily exceeded the market share that Windows 8 gained in the same period.
Due to the switch to a periodical release system, many builds after the RTM are still labelled "Windows 10" but are listed on separate pages. Builds for the multiple updates can be seen on their respective pages.
