Microsoft is now rolling out Windows 10 build 18898 for devices enrolled in the Fast ring of the Windows Insider Program. This is the thirteenth preview releasing to testers as part of the 20H1 development arriving in spring 2020.
Windows 10 build 18898, according to the company, is a minor update that includes an updated Task Manager Performance tab that now shows the drive type (for example, SSD), which should come in handy on devices with multiple hard drives.
