When does Microsoft Support end for Windows 10 2016 LTSB 1607 and LTSC 2021? - WKB64603

ENVIRONMENT

• Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise Long Term Service Build (LTSB) 1607  or (LTSC) 2016 
• Windows 10 Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) 2021
• MassLynx
• Empower
• UNIFI

ANSWER

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 (version 21H2) will have support until 13 October 2032.

Windows 10 Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) Build 1607  or (LTSC) 2016 is in extended support until 13 October 2026.

The two current Windows versions supplied by Waters have extended support. During the 'extended support' period Microsoft will continue to release security updates and non-security updates, but will not respond to requests to change product design or features

The exact end-of-life date for feature updates and security updates is determined by Microsoft and might be extended but the Microsoft website shows the latest information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/release-information

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Microsoft state that "End of service" for Windows 10 version 1607 (Home, Pro, Pro Education, and Pro for Workstations editions) is 9 April 2019. This does not apply to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 1607 used on Waters supplied PCs

MassLynx 4.2 software released for Windows 10 is supported on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB version 1607 and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021

Empower Enterprise C16 LAC/E boxes currently contain Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB version 1607.
