 * A more personalized taskbar for new users.

 * Migrated the information in the System section of Control Panel to the Settings app. Links in Control Panel that would take you to the System section now take you to the Settings app.
 * You can now copy your device information in Settings.
 * Notification that asks the user if they want to switch to tablet mode now no longer appears when you switch to said mode on 2-in-1 PCs.

Version numbering
This version drops the YYMM numbering scheme, introduced with the November Update, in favor of the half-year based YYHx scheme already used previously for codenames since the Windows 10 May 2019 Update. However, several applications and updates still have references for version 2009. This is because the former scheme is still in use, and is the ReleaseId from the Registry, in order to keep compatibility in the case of apps.
