<p>there is no way anybody could have misinterpreted the 18 months support window – there are plenty graphical representations of those support cycles – it's what people want to have understood. its rather simple really:<br></p><p><br></p><p>D-Day Version N is released in CB</p><p>D-Day +4 month version N is released in CBB</p><p>D-Day +6 months version N+1 is released in CB</p><p>D-Day +10 months version N+1 is release in CBB</p><p>D-Day +12 months Version N+2 is released in CB</p><p>D-Day +16 months Version N+2 is released in CBB – thats where the 2 month grace period for version N starts</p><p><br></p><p>Support means: you will get Quality Updates (Patches) – hence 2 month after N+2 is released in CBB you will no longer get patches</p><p>that is true for all Windows 10 Editions in CB/CBB – LTSB is yet another story – however please note that LTSB is not designed for Office type workload and should be used for ATMs and other automation type devices</p><p><br></p><p>"you will be upgraded" is yet another story – means at CBB of N+2 nothing really happens to a computer on N – other than there won't be any updates</p><p><br></p><p>HTH</p>
