forced win 10 update

[Groundedbeef]

So a thing popped up today, updating to a newer version of windows 10 this is the explanation:

 

If you're currently running Windows 10 Version 1507, Version 1511, Version 1607 or Version 1703, you can expect to receive a notification that states that your device has to have the latest security updates installed. Windows Update will then try to update your device.

When you receive the update notification, click Update now to update your device.

This update is also offered directly to Windows Update Client for some devices that have not installed the most recent updates.

Windows 10 Version 1507 and Version 1511 are currently at "end of service." This means that devices that are running these operating systems no longer receive the monthly security and quality updates that contain protection from the latest security threats. To continue receiving security and quality updates, Microsoft recommends that you update the system to the latest Windows version, Windows 10 Version 1709. 

Windows 10 version 1607 and version 1703 are not yet at "end of service." However, they must be updated to the latest versions of Windows 10 to ensure protection from the latest security threats.

To learn more about the "end of service" status for these versions of Windows 10, see the frequently asked questions for Windows 10 Version 1507 or Windows 10 Version 1511.

Windows 10 versions go EOL after a while when a newer build is released. This means you can't stay on older builds because you want to as you won't receive updates anymore.

 

Windows 10 version 1507 and 1511 are already end of life, no more security patches. Version 1607 goes EOL in april this year and 1703 in october.

If you want to stay on an older build, you need to buy Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB.

 

The only exception to these rules are the Clover Trail Atom CPUs, they are supported on 1607 until 2026.
