Support for Windows 10 version 1507 to End on May 9 Update Win 10
Support for Windows 10 version 1507 to End on May 9 Update Win 10
Since the initial release of Windows 10 in July 2015, Microsoft has released two additional feature updates that build upon each other, delivering the newest features and more comprehensive security. Windows 10 was designed as a service, whereby feature updates are required a few times a year. For most consumers, both quality and feature updates are delivered automatically according to their Windows Update settings. By policy, devices need to install the latest feature update within a 60-day grace period of its release to continue to be eligible for monthly servicing with security updates and other quality updates.
Microsoft extended this grace period for version 1507 beyond this typical 60-day policy, but the time has now come to end servicing for version 1507.
Microsoft added the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (version 1607) to the Volume Licensing Service Center on January 26, with this started the process to end support for the original version of the OS, which is 1507.
End of servicing for Current Branch (CB) and Current Branch for Business (CBB) will occur on May 9, 2017. This applies to the following editions, released July 2015 –
1-Windows 10 Home
2-Windows 10 Pro
3-Windows 10 Education
4-Windows 10 Enterprise
That means that version 1507 will no longer receive security updates after the May update.
There is no impact to other editions, including the Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2015 LTSB.
This means if you want to receive updates customer is supposed to update to the latest CB and CBB.
After May 9, 2017, Windows 10 devices running version 1507 will no longer receive security and quality updates. Microsoft recommends updating devices to the latest version of Windows 10 by visiting the Software Download site and selecting Update now to manually update your device.
How do I know which version of Windows 10 I'm running?
In the search box on the taskbar, type winver and then press Enter. This opens the About Windows dialog box, where you'll see the version of Windows 10 that's running on your device.
If your version is listed as 10.0 in the About Windows dialog box, Microsoft recommends updating your device to the latest version by visiting the Software Download site and selecting Update now to manually update your device.
What happens if I continue to use Windows 10 version 1507?
If you continue to use version 1507, your computer will still work, but since you won’t continue to receive new security updates or other quality updates, it could become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses. Microsoft offers complimentary support to ensure your device has the latest updates installed and requires that your device be up to date before assisting with other technical support issues.
