Today – two years before the end of extended support for Windows 7 and Office 2010 (January and October 2020, respectively) – we’re announcing servicing extensions for Windows 10, changes to the Office 365 ProPlus system requirements, and new details on the next perpetual release of Office and Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) release of Windows. Many customers are in the process of moving to one or more of these products, and they’ve asked us to clarify a few key points to help them with their upgrades. Please see Jared Spataro's blog post on Helping customers shift to a modern desktop for more information, and see the Windows lifecycle fact sheet for current end of service dates.ĭelivering a secure and productive modern workplace is a top priority for many of our commercial customers, and we’re committed to help. Last July, we took a big step forward in this journey with the introduction of Microsoft 365, a new product suite that brings together Office 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility + Security. In addition, all currently supported feature updates of Windows 10 Enterprise and Education editions (versions 1607, 1703, 1709, and 1803) will be supported for 30 months from their original release date.

6, 2018): Office 365 ProPlus will continue to be supported on Windows 8.1 through January 2023, which is the end of support date for Windows 8.1. Office 365 ProPlus will also continue to be supported on Windows Server 2016 until October 2025. This method is suitable for those users who have originally removed modern applications from the Windows image, as well as owners of Windows 10 LTSC Enterprise, which does not have any preinstalled UWP applications at all.This post was authored by Bernardo Caldas, General Manager for Windows, and Jared Spataro, General Manager for Office.
