Last night I dusted off an old laptop. Sony era Vaio with 1st gen i5. I knew it had Win10 on it, and left it to update. Noticed it showed it had 1809 on it. I thought all my systems were on at least 1909 but I guess I missed updating this one. Anyway, it was warning me that 1809 was about to go EOL. When I looked it up on MS' site, it looks like it was originally going EOL in May 2020, but they extended it to Nov. 2020.

 

I let it do the updates for 1809, and afterwards it offered to update major. I thought it would offer 2004, but no, it offered 1909. I'm curious why. We can speculate maybe the laptop has something unsupported on 2004, or there is some other limit for 2004. Or maybe it doesn't want to do such a big version step?

 

For now, since I have 1909 on a USB stick I'm using that to update and save some bandwidth. Will see if 2004 is offered after. I wont force 2004 onto it, just wanted to see how bad its Radeon GPU is in today's games.
