What do you need to know?
Firstly, Microsoft have made the move to predictable releases, twice per year. These are called Semi-Annual Channel Releases and they will be released every Spring and Autumn of each year from now on. The target for those is generally around the March and September timeframe although the exact timing of that can vary depending on when those new releases are ready.
Each of the new releases will be serviced by Microsoft (meaning they will support it and continue to release security updates for it) for 18 months from the date of release. So, a version released in Spring 2018 will be serviced until Autumn 2019. You are then into a constant cycle of 6-monthly releases of new versions and 18-monthly end of support for previous versions. Businesses will need to continue to move forward and continue deploying these new feature updates so you continue to stay serviced, supported and secure.
Some new terms have been introduced as part of Windows as a Service, so you should know what these terms mean: –
It’s important to note that if a computer running Windows 10 is not updated within the 18-month service period, it will not receive further updates. To stay current, secure and protected it is imperative that the Operating System is kept up to date.
