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?

    These two clauses are of concern

    • 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. 

    and

    • A device may not be able to receive updates if the device hardware is incompatible, lacking current drivers, or otherwise outside of the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (“OEM”) support period.

    If, as has been stated previously, this is the last release of Windows it effectively means that unless and until they develop a completely new product not called Windows then Windows 10 will continue to be subject to new builds at periodic intervals. At some point devices that were upgraded to Windows 10 but were older platforms yet still worked (had a few surprises myself as to what were successful) could well no longer accept new builds. The fix to that would be to roll back to the earlier build and continue with that.

    However the 1st clause requires that latest updates are required for support so anything that cannot run a new build automatically ceases to be supported.

    It's not the darn echo, i'm trying to say that "Windows 10 (last Windows OS) I think will have new major version every year until 2025 or 2026 and then there will be no more versions of Windows 10 the next decade so the last major update will be mid 2025 or mid 2026 as extended support ends in 14th October 2025 for Windows 10 Home, Enterprise 2015 LTSB, Education and Pro and the Extended support for Windows 10 2016 Enterprise LTSB on 13th October 2026 because that's why Windows 10 is a computer OS software and nothing lasts forever as other Windows do and that will happen with Windows 10 the next decade?"

    Read it on Microsoft Lifecycle Policy and tell Microsoft to see if Windows 10 will stop being supported at 2025 or 2026...

    I do hope that the Microsoft Staff could tell me if that answer is final?

    Windows 10 is the last Windows OS and it said that Windows Vista is ending support in April 2017 and Windows 7 is supported until 2020, Windows 8.1 is supported until 2023 and final Windows is 10 and it's supported until 2025 (which will then not receive more major updates or updates of windows after extended support ends) and Windows 10 1607 LTSB is supported until 2026 because my mum told me that Windows 10 is not going to last forever in the future after Windows 10 reached the end of life in 2025 and I would be much happier if Microsoft will replace Windows to the new OS for the future computers?

    And then there will be a 1707 that will be supported for 18 months and then 1807 for another 18 months and so on. No end has been reported. Since you can't block upgrades forever, you won't be on a version for 18 months.

    MS can and will change these dates in the future. There is no way to determine now when support will end because they can change it.
