Security News > 2022 > November > Microsoft: Windows 10 21H1 reaches end of service next month
Microsoft has reminded customers today that all editions of Windows 10 21H1 are reaching the end of service next month.
Windows customers should upgrade to the latest release as soon as possible to avoid exposing their devices to attacks exploiting unpatched security vulnerabilities since Windows 10 21H1 will no longer receive security updates.
"To help keep you protected and productive, Windows Update will automatically initiate a feature update for Windows 10 consumer devices and non-managed business devices that are at, or within several months of reaching end of servicing," Microsoft said.
Enterprise admins can deploy it through Windows Server Update Services, Windows Update for Business, and the Volume Licensing Service Center.
Users with Windows 11-compatible devices can also upgrade to Windows 11 22H2, given that the latest Windows version is now available to all seekers on eligible devices.
Microsoft provides additional details 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.
