Brink, Please I would like to know is Windows 10 Pro/Home going to stop supporting on 2025 except of Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC?

Just to help this discussion along, I think the OP's question is a reference to Windows 10 Home and Pro - Modern Lifecycle Policy - MSDocs

Hi,
Yes but by then 25H2 will be here lol
That's what I have always expected as well but MS does not say so anywhere that I can find; I cannot find anything to refute the OP's conclusion.
They have been publishing that 2025 end date for several years now.
Their pre-publication spiel, before July 2015, was that Windows would always be with us.

Hi,
Yeah win-10 is the last os so 25H1 or H2
So I would guess they then will move to Windows 11, and not skip a number like they did 9. After Vista they went the number route: 7,8,10,11,12, etc.
The end date is purely for legal reasons. No company would guarantee supporting an OS in perpetuity as that would be commercial suicide i.e. if MS could not afford to keep supporting it post 2025, they would be exposed to lawsuits.
What will happen post 2025 is they continue to support W10 on a rolling annual basis or extend the support end date e.g. for further five years.
There will be no Windows 11.
Well Win 10 was released 2015... 10 years is 2025. They'll probably need our money, again, by 2025.
Maybe if we're stubborn about switching again... we'll be able to upgrade to Windows XX, for free, again.
