Traditional Windows servicing has included several release types: major revisions (e.g., the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7 operating systems), service packs, and monthly updates. With Windows 10, there are two release types: feature updates that add new functionality two to three times per year, and quality updates that provide security and reliability fixes at least once a month.

### What are the servicing branches? ### What are the servicing channels?
To align with the new method of delivering feature updates and quality updates in Windows 10, Microsoft introduced the concept of servicing branches to allow customers to designate how aggressively their individual devices are updated. For example, an organization may have test devices that the IT department can update with new features as soon as possible, and then specialized devices that require a longer feature update cycle to ensure continuity. With that in mind, Microsoft offers three servicing branches for Windows 10: Current Branch (CB), Current Branch for Business (CBB), and Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB). For details about the versions in each servicing branch, see [Windows 10 release information](https://technet.microsoft.com/windows/release-info.aspx). For more information on each branch, see [servicing branches](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/manage/waas-overview#servicing-branches).
