We designed the LTSC with these types of use cases in mind, offering the promise that we will support each LTSC release for 10 years-and that features, and functionality will not change over the course of that 10-year lifecycle. Examples include medical systems (such as those used for MRI and CAT scans), industrial process controllers, and air traffic control devices. The Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) is designed for Windows 10 devices and use cases where the key requirement is that functionality and features don’t change over time. Support for them will extend beyond the deadline for up to 10 years.

After that, it will officially pull the plug for consumer users but not for organizations signed up to the Long Term Servicing Channel. Microsoft will continue to release monthly security updates for Windows 10 until October 14, 2025. PCMag highlighted that this process is already underway. Instead, interesting changes and enhancements will be incorporated into Windows 11. That meant no more new and significant features for Windows 10. Upgrading isn't always straightforward, and exacting hardware requirements weigh heavily on Windows 11.Īccording to the update, the company intends the current version of Windows 10, version 22H2, to be the last edition of the operating system (OS). While moving to Windows 11 should be a win for security, some Windows 10 fans may be a little nervous. In less than three years, all Windows 10 users will need to have moved to Windows 11.

Microsoft issued a client roadmap update on Thursday to remind us once again that Windows 10 support is slowly coming to an end.
