The delay that is scheduled refers only to the editions Enterprise, Education, and IoT enterprise OS, where the editions Home, Pro, Pro Education, and Pro for Workstation stopped already in 2019.

Security updates for Windows 10 version 1803 will be available through standard Microsoft service points, including Windows Update, Microsoft Update Catalog, and Windows Server Update Services. Current update management workflows do not need to be changed by companies, according to Microsoft, to receive updates.

To continue receiving support and service after May 11, 2021, devices must be planned to be upgraded to the latest Windows 10 iteration by companies running version 1803.

Verification of end of service dates for all versions and editions of the Windows operating system can be chosen by users in the Windows life cycle fact sheet. The Microsoft Lifecycle Policy survey tool can be used by users to check company lifestyle information across all commercial products.
