Windows 10, Version 21H1 Approaching End-of-Life

[Corrine]

All editions of Windows 10, version 21H1 will reach the end of servicing on December 13, 2022.  The December 13, 2022 security update will be the last update available for this version. After that date, devices running this version will no longer receive monthly security and quality updates.

Windows Update will automatically initiate a feature update to the latest version of Windows 10.  When this occurs, you will be able to choose a convenient time for your device to restart and complete the update.  Rather than waiting, consider updating now.  See How to get the Windows 10 2022 Update app. 

Another option is to upgrade eligible devices to Windows 11. To determine if your device supports Windows 11 use the How to use the PC Health Check app.

For information about servicing timelines and lifecycle, see Windows 10 release information, Windows 11 release information, and Lifecycle FAQ - Windows.
