> Max deferral is 365 days. If you're running a business, switch to the business branch. Thanks for the tip about the "business" branch - I hadn't encountered that concept before. Assuming that [1] is talking about the same thing you are, it sounds like the "365 days" number you quoted applies to what Microsoft calls "upgrades". "Another thing to keep in mind is that when you enable “Defer upgrades” in the Settings app, Windows 10 will automatically defer upgrades up to 4 months, and if you configure Windows Update for Business, you can further delay upgrades up to an additional 8 months. As such, you can postpone Windows 10 upgrades up to 12 months (4 + 8)." But I'm just as concerned with the patches that Microsoft doesn't call "upgrades". According to [2], "quality updates" can only be deferred up to 30 days, and I have no control over "non-deferrable updates". I'm still evaluating whether or not the liability of those forced updates justifies the cost of moving her post-processing systems to Apple. P.S. I should mention that we don't have access to Windows 10 Enterprise, and even if we did, I could never justify the time investment in becoming competent to use it just to defend her workstation from Microsoft.
