From this Tuesday onwards, both versions of Windows 10 will cease to be supported.

Microsoft has already announced this at Windows Message Center. From before, these versions of Windows 10 – at least the Home and Pro editions – should be updated automatically in the latest versions.

Those of you still using the aforementioned versions of Windows 10 should upgrade to a more recent (eg Windows 10 versions 21H1 or 21H2).

However, version 21H1 of Windows 10 is only supported as Home and Pro until December 13, 2022. It is therefore recommended that you upgrade to version 21H2 of Windows 10, which will expire on June 13, 2023.

You can see the support expiration dates for Windows 10 Home and Pro on this page. Windows 10 Enterprise and Education of course have different expiration dates, which you can find at this site.

The of AdDuplex for March 2022 demonstrate that:

Windows 10 20H2 is still running on 10,8% of desktops . Surprisingly, 8,1% of Home and Pro users are still running Windows 10 version 2004, which has been out of support for a while.

The 1909 version of Windows 10 still has 2,4% of the market share. So if you subtract these percentages from the chart below, only 55% of Windows 10 desktops run the latest versions and 19,4% run Windows 11.

Overall, 25%, about a quarter of desktops run outdated versions of Windows.

What does this mean; Either people are tired of Microsoft experiments, or they do not consider it important to run updated systems.

Personally, I believe more in the first case, especially if one thinks that after each update of Windows no one can be sure of the stability of his system.
