Microsoft to finally retire Windows 10 1511 in two weeks
Microsoft in two weeks will finally retire 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.
Windows 10 1511 - Microsoft labels its feature upgrades in a yymm format - will receive a final set of security patches on April 10.
The retirement date had originally been slated for Oct. 10, 2017, but last November Microsoft 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 post to a company blog.
