Obligatory mention of the Windows 10 Enterprise Edition that goes through 2032 of support.

    Eh, no. LTSC has an extra 13 months and you can get extended support for W10 enterprise, but MS made the pricing very unattractive (support cost basically doubles each year).

    But W10 enterprise is going eol for mainstream support in October just like the home, pro and education editions.

    I've been preparing our migration to W11 for 18 months now (we combined that with some other changes, otherwise a simple feature update would have sufficed). And no, linux is not an option.

    hmm it's still good to be reminded that it's not actually until 2032, but just 2027. 2 years is more than none, but yeah, not as much as I originally thought

    I've double-checked because I'm not familiar with Microsoft licensing terminology. The extended support end period listed is included without extra cost, it's just limited to security updates only. This is separate from "Extended Security Updates" which is paid for security updates after the support period has ended.

    "The Extended Support phase follows Mainstream Support. At the supported service pack level, Extended Support includes [...] Security updates at no additional cost"
