# Windows 10 release information
Feature updates for Windows 10 are released twice a year, targeting March and September, via the Semi-Annual Channel (SAC) and will be serviced with monthly quality updates for 18 months from the date of the release. We recommend that you begin deployment of each SAC release immediately to devices selected for early adoption and ramp up to full deployment at your discretion. This will enable you to gain access to new features, experiences, and integrated security as soon as possible.

>[!NOTE]
>If you are not using Windows Update for Business today, the "Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)" servicing option has no impact on when your devices will be updated. It merely reflects a milestone for the semi-annual release, the period of time during which Microsoft recommends that your IT team make the release available to specific, "targeted" devices for the purpose of validating and generating data in order to get to a broad deployment decision. For more information, see [this blog post](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/Windows-Update-for-Business-and-the-retirement-of-SAC-T/ba-p/339523).
>Beginning with Windows 10, version 1903, this page will no longer list Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) information for version 1903 and future feature updates. Instead, you will find a single entry for each Semi-Annual Channel release.
