Nickel

Nickel is the 22H2 development semester of Windows as a service, the commercial release of which will be Windows 11, version 22H2. Work on Nickel began in March 2021. It was followed by Copper in the second half of 2023.

Early builds of Nickel still use the older Windows 10 branding and user interface as they predate the public unveil of Windows 11.
