Microsoft has reminded customers today that multiple editions of Windows 10 20H2 and Windows 10 1909 are reaching the end of service on May 10, 2022.

In a support document, Microsoft says that Windows 10 20H2 will reach EOS for Windows 10 Home, Pro, Pro Education, and Pro for Workstations users.

Forced updates before reaching EOS. Until these Windows 10 1909 and 20H2 editions reach EOS, Microsoft will force feature updates on consumer devices and non-managed business devices via Windows Update.

You can find more info regarding end of service dates for supported versions of Windows in the Windows Lifecycle FAQ, the Windows 10 Servicing Frequently Asked Questions, and the Lifecycle Policy search tool.

On January 21, 2022, Microsoft announced that it had started a forced deployment of Windows 10 21H2 to more devices reaching EOS. Windows 10 21H2 is also rolling out to seekers - Windows users who manually check for updates - on Windows 10 2004 and higher via a quick update experience similar to monthly updates.

If you have a device running a Windows 10 version nearing EoS and you're not offered an update to Windows 10 21H2, you should manually check for one through Windows Update.
