Windows 10: When does Windows 10 Support End?

My father in law is looking for a new laptop and I'm concerned that support is coming to an end. I've googled the question and it looks like Oct 13, 2020 and extended support Oct 14, 2025, I presume that extended support is for large companies, Not individuals.
If support ends Oct 13, 2020, that isn't far off. He is currently running Windows 10 on a 5 year old laptop, so maybe put a SSD in it and stick with that.

Is Microsoft issuing a new OS? If so when? If not what are the options? Andriod / Apple iOS?

Many Thanks

Steve

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
