Microsoft to End Windows 10 20H2 Support Next Month - [briefly]
03:13 PM EDT - Apr,11 2022 - post a comment

It's no secret that the Windows 11 adoption rate has been pretty terrible. In fact, some sources claim that despite it being officially available now for over 6 months now, less than 9% of desktop users have actually bothered to upgrade to it. The reasons for this are, of course, quite varied. Some have no idea how to enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. Others don't meet its rather terse system requirements. Oh, and some, rather a significant majority it seems, simply don't want to upgrade to it. With so many remaining on Windows 10, however, it does still bear note that Microsoft is undoubtedly going to start to get terser and terser in the push for getting people to make the transition. And in one possible such example of this, following a report via BetaNews, it has been confirmed that support for Windows 10 version 20H2 will officially be ending next month. What does this mean? Well, in a nutshell, for those people still on that version of Windows 10, if you don't at least transition to a more recent version, you're going to shortly start losing security updates!

In all, there are four editions of Windows 10 that reach end of support at the same time. The Home, Pro, Education and Pro for Workstation releases of Windows 10 version 20H2 all reach end of service on May 10, 2022 -- just one month from now.

In a support article on its product lifecycle page, Microsoft advises users:

Windows 10, version 20H2 will reach the end of servicing on May 10, 2022. This applies to the following editions* of Windows 10 released in October of 2020:

- Windows 10 Home, version 20H2

- Windows 10 Pro, version 20H2

- Windows 10 Pro Education, version 20H2

- Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, version 20H2

These editions will no longer receive security updates after May 10, 2022.



The company points that that: "Customers who contact Microsoft Support after this date will be directed to update their device to the latest version of Windows 10 to remain supported". With Microsoft having been forcibly installing Windows 10 version 21H2 on computers since the beginning of the year, and these systems will be supported for some time to come. For the longest support times, however, an upgrade to Windows 11 is needed, although the hardware requirements mean that this will not be an option for everyone.

So to sum it all up, Windows 10 end-of-life is still on for late 2025, just need to update your version of Windows 10.
