We're very close to the launch of the new Windows 10, which we know will be available starting next July 29 and as we approach the release date of this version are giving to know some more details on it. In recent days, Microsoft announced that the system updates include some changes, and now the company has unveiled until when support for Windows 10 will be provided.
On the official website in English Windows support we can clearly see that the main support for the W10 will end October 13, 2020, that is to last just over five years. Meanwhile extended support will be available until 14 October 2025. Such additional support mainly includes security fixes and an occasional update.
It is noteworthy that extended periods of support are very common. If you look at Windows Vista for example, released in 2007, still it has two years of extended support, while Windows 7, released in 2009, will reach the end of their cycle in 2020. Windows XP was one case little weird, because their support has been the most widespread of all: a total of 13 years from 2001-2014.
And what will happen after it reaches the end of its support Windows 10? Well, we'll find out on the spot. Recall that Microsoft has already said that this new version will be the latest version of Windows operating system, because in the future it will become a "service". Obviously all the details are not known about it, so we say that at some point we will find out in a few years. Strange to say, W10 will be the last version and also put a end to the cycle of support, but hey, as will be explained at the time.
