The Finn Tero Alhonen found the name using the VMHostSupportedVersion command in Powershell in a VM with an Insider build of the 20H1 update. That is a command where Windows 10 shows which configurations a VM can have and which Windows versions it supports.

The Windows 10 May 2020 Update is the next major release of Windows. The upcoming version, 19H2, is a relatively minor release. Insiders in the Fast Ring have been getting builds of the upcoming Windows version for half a year now. The May 2020 Update makes Paint and Wordpad optional, among other things. With the upcoming Windows version, Task Manager will also show the GPU temperature if the user has a separate video card in his system.

Microsoft has not yet made a major announcement of next year’s Windows version. The company has been releasing two major updates a year for Windows 10 for a number of years, in the spring and in the fall.
