Two more codenames related to the Windows next aka Windows Sun Valley are doing rounds online. It seems “Cherry Hill” is the codename for experience packages that Windows 11 will bring. So, Cherry Hill File explorer, store and other apps will be part of the experience packages meant for Windows 11.
