Microsoft is shortening the support period for Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC
Anyone who has invested in Windows 10 LTSC (Long Term Servicing Channel) has had the comfort of knowing that Microsoft offered 10 years of support. But this is changing.
The company has announced that the support period for Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC is being halved to just five years, bringing the operating system in line with the recently announced changes to Office support. However, support for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC will remain at 10 years.

Microsoft says that the reason for the change is that customers have provided feedback indicating that they simply do not need support for 10 years but there will almost certainly be plenty of customers who disagree. For anyone who needs or wants the longer support period, Microsoft recommends considering a switch to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC.
