Microsoft will soon start force upgrading Windows 10 1903 to Windows 10 1909 to keep them protected from security threats after this Windows version reaches its end of service next month.

"All editions of Windows 10, version 1903 and Windows 10 Server, version 1903 will reach end of service on December 8, 2020," Microsoft explains on the Windows 10 Message Center.

Microsoft says on the Message Center and the Health Dashboard that devices running any edition of Windows 10, version 1903 version will be forced upgraded to Windows 10 1909.

More to the point, if Redmond updates all 1903 devices to 1909, they will once again need to be force upgraded to Windows 10 2004 five months later, in May 2021, when Windows 10 1909 reaches its end of support.

Windows 10 1903 users can also upgrade their devices to Windows 10 20H2 manually by check for updates via the Windows Update.
