Microsoft reminded customers that all editions of Windows 10, version 21H1, would reach the end of servicing on December 13, 2022.

Microsoft said in an update to the Windows health dashboard that systems running Windows 10 21H1 will no longer receive security updates.

"Customers who contact Microsoft Support after this date will be directed to update their device to the latest version of Windows 10 or Windows 11 to remain supported," Redmond says in a separate support document.

Windows 10 Enterprise, version 21H1. Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session, version 21H1. Windows 10 Education, version 21H1. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, version 21H1. Windows 10 Home, version 21H1. Windows 10 Pro, version 21H1. Windows 10 Pro Education, version 21H1. Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, version 21H1. Microsoft will also likely soon start forcing feature updates via Windows Update on consumer and non-managed business devices running Windows 10 21H1 as it approaches EOS to ensure that they'll still receive critical security updates.

Windows 10 21H2 was designated for broad deployment in April, making it available to everyone via Windows Update.

More details regarding end-of-service dates for supported versions of Windows are available in the Windows Lifecycle FAQ, the Windows 10 Servicing Frequently Asked Questions, and the Lifecycle Policy search tool.
