Windows 10 Enterprise has the same 18 month service period for each feature update as Home and Pro. Only the LTSB editions, meant for embedded systems like ATMs and medical equipment, have the longer, traditional mainstream and extended support periods.

- Silhouette 9y agoMicrosoft can call Windows a service as much as it wants, but if problems start happening with newer builds of Win 10 Enterprise and million dollar customers start getting upset at losing security updates with their working systems after 18 months, Microsoft's position will surely change. The traditional "Pro" market don't have that luxury, because individually no small business or power user is significant enough to have meaningful leverage. This is what I mean by the rules of the game being different at enterprise level. Big customers might get Microsoft to change something they don't like, particularly if more than one or two feel the same way and start calling senior people at MS. Smaller customers only have the choice to put up with whatever Microsoft offers or to vote with their wallets and move to another platform.
