Microsoft<\/span><\/span>\u00a0finally retired a 2015 version of Windows 10, marking 29 months of support for the untitled feature upgrade, nearly as long a stretch as the time between the releases of Windows 8 and Windows 10.<\/p>\n

Windows 10\u00a01511<\/i>\u00a0– Microsoft labels its feature upgrades in a\u00a0yymm<\/i>\u00a0format – received a final set of security patches on April 10.<\/p>\n

The retirement date had originally been slated for Oct. 10, 2017, but last November\u00a0Microsoft extended it an additional six months, albeit only for commercial customers. “To help some early enterprise adopters that are still finishing their transition to Windows as a service, we will be providing a supplemental servicing package for Windows 10, version 1511, for an additional six months, until April 2018,” Michael Niehaus, at the time a director of product marketing for Windows, said in a 2017\u00a0post to a company blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Customers<\/span><\/span>\u00a0running Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Education were given the support reprieve; those operating lesser SKUs (stock-keeping units), including Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro, had their support curtailed last October.<\/p>\n
