Installing Windimmediately extends the support to December 14, 2021. For example, Windows 10 version 1909 stops being supported on May 11, 2021. In addition, the installation of a feature update will extend the support window for your machine. Often I’ve used the feature release process to repair a Windows 10 machine that refused to install updates and was throwing off error messages. Rather, the feature update process ends up providing a “clean up” of your Windows 10 machine and ensures its future health. Often people question the need for twice-annual feature releases, and in most cases, it’s hard to point to any feature that the vast majority of Windows users need. It’s only when a new Windows 10 feature release is offered up to the public - and begins to run on all of the different hardware that we have out here in Windowsland - that the true testing begins. Sure, Microsoft says its Windows Insider program is its beta testing program for new releases of Windows 10, but I honestly consider that more of a mechanism for marketing new features. Microsoft makes it easy for you to opt into beta testing, but not as easy to opt out. It’s that semi-annual time again when a new Windows 10 feature update is imminent - and when you need to decide whether or not you want to participate in its unpaid beta testing process. Editor's note: As of May 18, Microsoft has officially released Windows 10 21H1 - but it’s not too late to prevent it from installing on your machine.
