The support for Windows 10 v1803 has been extended to May 11, 2021

The Windows 10 v1803 version released in March 2018 was originally scheduled to end the service date of November 10, 2020, but Microsoft has decided to extend it.

The reason for the delayed support is naturally the pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus that is still raging. Many companies and institutions now have no time to manage and upgrade.

This is also true of Microsoft’s decision to extend the support time for enterprises and educational institutions without paying extra so that enterprises and educational institutions can continue to use the old stable version.

The Windows 10 Version 1803 Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise version were originally scheduled to end support on November 10, 2020. After the end of support, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, so these companies and organizations must upgrade.

However, because of the current situation, many enterprises and educational institutions are working remotely and remotely teaching. It is basically useless to expect everyone to upgrade the operating system version at this time.

Therefore, Microsoft decided to extend it to May 11, 2021, so that enterprises and educational institutions can have more time to arrange upgrade plans to obtain security support.

However, Microsoft also emphasized that no extensions will be made after the extra extended support expires, so enterprises and educational institutions must complete the upgrade next spring or they will no longer be safe.

It should be noted that the Home Edition and Professional Edition of Windows 10 Version 1803 have ceased support, and Microsoft will not extend support for these versions.
