Windows 10 is the last Windows version, because it was announced by May 2015 that Microsoft is telling "Why Windows 10 will be the last windows version?" and when Windows 10 Support ends in 2025 will there be no more Microsoft Windows?

    Windows 10 is based on Windows as a service where the OS is continually revised after 6 months or an year.

    The latest one released is Anniversary update released August this year. The stable build has a life cycle of 15 years most probably.

    Windows lifecycle fact sheet - Windows Help - Microsoft Support

    So the OS would continue to be revised as years progress

    Windows 10 support for 10 years will always be like the old Windows 7 and 8.1 lasting 10 years until the end of life by 2025 or 2026, Can version 1507, 1511 and 1607 be supported by 2017 before creators update, version 1703 is released early 2017, Windows 10 is only extended for at least 10 years and then it will no longer be supported, what about checking how long versions 1507, 1511 and 1607 last for?

    But I'm really confused to when version 1507, 1511 and version 1607 would last for and I want you to tell Microsoft to see if version 1507, 1511 and 1607 would last more years?

    As per the lifecycle support link

    " Updates are cumulative, with each update built upon all of the updates that preceded it. A device needs to install the latest update to remain supported"

    Windows 10 lifecycle currently gives a specific date limit, no reference to build number.

    The last statement is quite clear, only Build 1607 is supported, no other previous build is supported as of the release of 1607.

    Nothing unusual in that, Windows 7 lifecycle gives an end of support as 2020 but ONLY with SP1 installed

    So all your previous build are not supported NOW.
