    not for me, I'm the exception. I have an 1809 VM set aside specifically to test if/when/how MS would force the upgrade after the original May 12, 2020 end of service. Now I've got to wait another six months

    This really useful table of versions, release dates and end of support is now no longer available at Microsoft.

    The link in post #1 https://support.microsoft.com/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet now diverts to a dumbed-down Lifecycle FAQ page with no dates whatoever.

    Try it and see: https://support.microsoft.com/help/1...cle-fact-sheet



    For reference, here is the last (ever?) version of the table, retrieved from the Wayback Machine's archived copy from June 2 2020.





    By Windows 10 version, below are the availability and end of service dates segmented by edition.

    Look what I found hidden under bits.


    https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/...e/search/18165

    I know, it's marginal compared to the complete listing that included dates for all versions. This search box will auto-complete after typing ie 1809.

    The link above will allow you to search EOS by year. Scroll down and choose a year on the left side.

    I searched 1809 home and the received the expected results.

    True, but you now have to look up each version individually. It was having every version (including LTSC/LTSB) listed in one table that I found so convenient
