Security News > 2020 > November > Microsoft: Windows 10 1809 reaches end of service next week
Microsoft today reminded customers that some editions of Windows 10, version 1809 will reach its end of service next week.
"On November 10, 2020, the Home, Pro, Pro for Workstation, and IoT Core editions of Windows 10, version 1809 will reach end of service," Microsoft explains on the Windows 10 1809 Health Dashboard.
This was announced after Microsoft started forced feature updates on all devices running Home and Pro editions of Windows 10 1809 on December 5, 2019, to smooth out the update process to more recently released Windows 10 versions including Windows 10 1903 and 1909.
Microsoft started rolling out Windows 10 20H2 - the latest version - on October 20 to all users who manually check for updates via Windows Update on devices running Windows 10 1903 or later.
If your computer is still running Windows 10 1809 you will have to first update to Windows 10 1903 and only after that you'll have the option to upgrade to 20H2. However, these are not the only requirements since you'll also need to have the Windows 10 2004 Servicing Stack Update and KB4579311 or later installed on the device.
