Microsoft product end of support dates are sometimes not easy to find and its not getting any better with the “current branch” releases and cloud solutions being governed by the Modern lifecycle policy.
The Modern lifecycle policy page further links to 3 product catagories, O365, Cloud platform and Dynamics. Unfortunately, its not clear (at least to me) how this helps with products such as SCCM current branch (be it 1606, 1702, 1706, 1710 or 1802) – however this information is available at another location
Likewise with the “traditional” products, most end of life information is available here – but to say that the information is difficult to search through is an understatement.
It also sometimes lacks detail, for example, there is no metion of the differing support for Windows 8.1 without update 1 and with update 1.
We have a number of clients that take the approach that while a server is running, to leave it there – and while I may personally not like this approach (i prefer to roll through the OS upgrades as they come out) – they have a valid approach and end of life information is important for them.
Keep in mind that everything listed below is end of extended support, not mainstream support – and i have taken some liberties (e.g. assumed that windows 8.1 is 8.1 with update 1)
Windows 10 dates have been sourced from the product lifecycle page, however this blog entry states than an additional 6 months has been granted to displayed Windows 10 versions.
If you find the below useful – cool. If i’ve got something wrong, or missed something that is key (in your opinion), please leave a comment.
