Windows 10 build 18970 started rolling out to Fast ring Insiders yesterday. The build includes a new tablet experience for 2-in-1 PCs, the ability to reset your PC back to a fresh state through a cloud download, and brings the new Cortana experience to everyone.

The new tablet experience is separate from Windows 10 Tablet Mode, which is still present in this build and can be toggled on and off as usual.
