I'm curious about the end of support timeline for Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021. I know mainstream support stops on January 12, 2027, but what about security updates and bug fixes? It's confusing because I see that the older LTSC version (1809) gets support until 2029, but the 2021 version seems to end earlier. Just to clarify, I'm specifically asking about the LTSC versions.

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 (21H2) comes with a 5-year support period, meaning security updates will be available until January 2027. This is different from the previous LTSC version, 2019 (1809), which had a 10-year support cycle. Microsoft changed things with LTSC 2021, so that's why it's a bit confusing. Just remember, if you want updates beyond that timeframe, you'll need to upgrade to a new LTSC version before then.
Can they make this shit anymore confusing?
Ahhhh, thank you! I didn't realize they changed the lifecycle. Win 11 it is then!
