How to use this table

  • After the end date a version still runs, but new security holes in it are no longer fixed: plan the upgrade before.
  • Long-term support (LTS) versions are the ones to choose for servers and for software you will not update often.
  • For Windows, the date depends on the edition: these are for Home and Pro.

Before you rely on it

  • Paid extended support covers security fixes only, for those who buy it.
  • Dates are sometimes extended: the date each row was checked is in the sources.
