The next feature update will be released at the end of 2017, making it four feature updates in about 2 years.Īnother difference is that Microsoft made it a lot harder to block updates on Windows 10. Microsoft released three feature updates so far since July 2015 for Windows 10.

Probably the biggest difference to before is that feature updates are released at a much higher pace than Service Packs. On Windows 10, the support period for any version is about 18 months. Non-Service Pack versions of Windows were supported for about 2 years after the release of the Service Pack.


This is true to a degree, but there are a couple of differences.įirst, the support period is shorter on Windows 10. You may say that this is similar to support changed when Microsoft released Service Packs for older versions of Windows.
