Security News > 2022 > February > Microsoft: Support for Windows 10 20H2 ending in May 2022

In a support document updated today, Microsoft stated that Windows 10 20H2 will reach EOS on May 10, 2022.

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

Forced updates for devices reaching EOS. Until these editions of Windows 10 1909 and 20H2 reach EOS, Windows Update will force feature updates on consumer devices and non-managed business devices that reach the end of servicing.

More information regarding end of service dates for supported versions of Windows 10 is available in the Windows Lifecycle FAQ, the Windows 10 Servicing Frequently Asked Questions, and via Microsoft's Lifecycle Policy search tool.

Windows 10 21H2 is also rolling out to seekers on Windows 10 2004 or later through a fast update experience very similar to monthly updates.

You can easily check if your Windows 10 device is eligible for a Windows 11 upgrade using the PC Health Check app or by visiting the Windows 11 specs, features, and computer requirements page.
