Windows (windows-client, windows-10, windows-11) End of Life

There is no such thing as "the end-of-support date for Windows 11". Dates are set per feature update, and their length differs by edition.

Edition	Servicing period
Home / Pro / Pro Education / Pro for Workstations	24 months
Enterprise / Education / IoT Enterprise / Enterprise multi-session	36 months

This page therefore lists Home/Pro and Enterprise/Education as separate rows for the same version. Reading a date without checking your edition will be off by a year.

Monthly updates do not extend the deadline

Installing cumulative updates does not extend the servicing period of the version you are on. You must move to a newer feature update before the date shown, which in practice means a version upgrade every two years on Home/Pro.

Note that 26H1 targets new devices shipping in early 2026 and is not offered as an in-place feature update to existing 24H2 or 25H2 devices.

Windows 10 ended on 14 October 2025

Windows 10 reached end of support on 14 October 2025; 22H2 was the final version. Paid Extended Security Updates (ESU) can extend it: one year for consumers, and up to three years for organizations, with the price doubling each year.

This site does not record ESU end dates as data. The consumer end date appears only on a JavaScript-rendered support article that cannot be re-verified automatically, and the commercial programme is documented only as "a maximum of three years". Check Microsoft's ESU pages directly if you plan around it.

LTSC and LTSB are a separate track

Release	End of updates	Note
Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024	2029-10-09	No extended support; only IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 runs to 2034-10-10
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021	2027-01-12	No extended support; only IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 runs to 2032-01-13
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019	2029-01-09	Extended support
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016	2026-10-13	Extended support

LTSC is intended for fixed-function devices, not for general office PCs.

How to read Microsoft's lifecycle tables

The lifecycle tables state that dates are shown in Pacific Time, but render the end timestamp in UTC (for example 10/15/2025 6:59:59 AM). That instant is 23:59:59 PT on 14 October 2025, so the displayed date is one day after the real end date. Microsoft's own announcements give the correct date, and this site follows those.

Windows Server is documented separately

Windows Server follows the Fixed Lifecycle Policy (five years mainstream plus five years extended) and works fundamentally differently from the client releases listed here.
