Microsoft adds 6 months support to Windows 10 1803, again cites pandemic
Microsoft on Wednesday stretched support for a third version of Windows 10, again citing the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on business.
The Redmond, Wash. developer extended security support for Windows 10 Enterprise 1803 and Windows 10 Education 1803 by six months, to May 11, 2021. The original end-of-support date was to be Nov. 10.
"We have heard your feedback and understand your need to focus on business continuity in the midst of the global pandemic," Chris Morrissey, who leads the communications team for Windows' servicing group, wrote in a post to a company blog. "As a result, we have decided to delay the scheduled end-of-service date for the Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions of Windows 10, version 1803."
