My version of Windows 10 is not supported?

1 minute read

Wait what? I thought that Windows 10 was the latest version of Windows....

This is a typical response from clients during a scoping call or pre audit meeting. The fact is that Windows 10 support is far from simple to understand outside of Microsoft. I have been banging about this on and off for some time now and I felt it was time for a refresh as Microsoft still seem be doing a bad job at raising awareness. This is apparently changing from 19H2 or 1909 or what ever it will be called, where Microsoft will be alerting the user that their version is going out of support.
