Windows 10, 1709 will be supported for another 6 months

Microsoft seems to be extending its support time frame for Windows 10 version 1703.

The operating system will continue to receive security updates until October 13, 2020, but will only be available to businesses and education clients.

With this change, Microsoft shifts the support date from April 14, 2020 to October 13, 2020. The company he explains that the reason for this move is the situation with the coronavirus.

We assess the state of public health and understand the impact it has on you, our valued customers. To ease one of the many burdens you face and based on customer feedback, we decided to delay the scheduled expiration date for Enterprise, Education and IoT Enterprise versions of Windows 10, version 1709. This means that devices will receive monthly security updates only from May to October. The final security update for these versions of Windows 10, version 1709, will be released on October 13, 2020 instead of April 14, 2020.

Microsoft advises administrators to consider switching to Windows Update for Business, which allows users to receive security updates and quality updates directly from Microsoft in a secure and often faster way.
