Upcoming End of Servicing for Windows 10 Version 21H2
As the calendar pages turn, a notable transition looms for users of Windows 10 version 21H2. Specifically, those utilizing the Enterprise and Education editions should mark their calendars, as the end of servicing is set for next month. This follows the cessation of support for the consumer editions, which Microsoft concluded back in June 2023.
In an effort to ensure smooth operations and transition planning, Microsoft has taken proactive steps to communicate these changes. The company made an announcement via the official Windows release health message center, highlighting the date of June 11, 2024, as the final day of support for the Enterprise, Education, and IoT editions of Windows 10 version 21H2.
While this marks the end of the line for several editions, there remains a beacon for extended support within the Windows 10 family. The Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 editions are set to continue receiving updates and support until the distant date of January 12, 2027. This offers a longer runway for organizations utilizing these specific long-term servicing channel versions.
Microsoft’s message underscores the importance of staying informed and prepared for these support lifecycle milestones. As the end of support approaches, administrators are encouraged to consider their upgrade paths and to stay attuned to the latest advisories from Microsoft for maintaining secure and efficient IT environments.
