Microsoft says Windows 10, version 20H2 for enterprise and education users will reach the end of service in three months, on May 9, 2023.
After the EOS date is reached, Windows 10 20H2 devices running Enterprise and Education editions will no longer receive monthly quality or security updates containing bug fixes and patches to protect them from recently discovered security threats.
Windows 10 22H2 is being offered to customers with eligible devices running Windows 10 20H2 or later on systems not affected by compatibility holds that haven't been configured to defer feature updates.
Redmond will likely force Windows 10 22H2 feature updates to consumer and non-managed business devices once the Windows 10 20H2 reaches EOS in May. "Devices currently on Windows 10, version 20H2 or newer will have a fast installation experience because this feature update will install like a monthly update," the company says on the Windows Health Dashboard.
More info regarding end-of-service dates for supported versions of Windows can be found in the Windows Lifecycle FAQ, the Windows 10 Servicing Frequently Asked Questions, and via the Lifecycle Policy search tool.
You can determine if your Windows 10 device is eligible for a Windows 11 upgrade using the PC Health Check app or by checking Windows 11 specs, features, and computer requirements.
