"rest of Windows 10 is 2025" is not quite right. There are different versions/branches of Windows 10 that come out every 6 months or so. Some of the branches/versions are "Long term servicing branches" (LTSB) for enterprise environments, supported for 10 years. There are already two of those. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10#Updates_and_support https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10#Updates_and_support For everyone else, the branches are supported for 18 months. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-info.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-info.asp... In reality Microsoft can stop supporting your computer's _hardware_ much earlier than that, if your device maker stops supporting it (reminds me of Andriod phones): > A device may not be able to receive updates if the device hardware is incompatible, lacking current drivers, or otherwise outside of the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (“OEM”) support period. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifec... And they've already stopped supporting some devices: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3216005/microsoft-windows/microsofts-still-trying-to-figure-out-windows-10-support.html https://www.computerworld.com/article/3216005/microsoft-wind...
