For all this, many we continue to maintain Windows 10 as the main system of useespecially on production PCs.

Like the previous ones, it is free to update computers that have a valid Windows 10 license. The Home and Pro consumer editions will have 18 months of service and support, while the Enterprise and Education editions will have 30 months.
