Windows Volt (Codename Platinum Valley) was the first release of Windows Core OS, released on May 28th, 2020. After the cancellation of Windows Polaris, development began on Windows Volt, which used the NT 11.0 kernel, this version removed most of the outdated legacy features, which made the system much faster and more lightweight. Windows Volt was also compatible with the both PC and mobile, it also had POSReady Edition designed for retail Point of Sale (POS) devices in retail stores. Windows Volt introduced Fluent V2 Design System, an improvement from the Fluent V1 introduced in Windows 11. designed to be more compatible with different types of displays and devices. This version was deeply integrated with Microsoft Cloud services for automatic data backups, but this features could be disabled in the settings. Windows Volt implemented advanced security features such as hardware-based encryption, secure boot, and complete overhaul of Windows Defender, however, it required Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 like Windows 11. In 2029, Windows Volt was replaced by Windows QuVolt (Quantum Volt) which, as the name suggests, now used the Quantum Kernel instead of NT. The support ended on January 19th, 2033.
