Windows 10: Windows 10 1909 lifecycle compared to 2004

Hi hoping this is a quick one, can someone explain to me why Windows 10 Enterprise version 1909 has a end of service date of 10/05/2022 and 2004 is 14/12/2021 when 2004 was released later. I'm looking to upgrade our 1809 devices but not sure which version to go for that may give us a longer lifecycle? Thanks

1909 vs 2004

I thought (maybe) or suggested (possibly) this seemed to be true immediately with 2004, but after being with it for a few days I do find & feel 2004 superior to 1909. No, this isn't from fancy lab set ups & testing
or Swiss stop-watches... nothing but, plain ole everyday use.

2004, same hardware, same software, definitely is faster, snappier, more responsive & more fluid than 1909 (was).

Cheers,

Drew

I know, it's marginal compared to the complete listing that included dates for all versions. This search box will auto-complete after typing ie 1809.

1909 to 2004 upgrade

The 20H2 iso is available for download (see News section), so that naturally 'includes' 2004. This is a step preceding 20H2 becoming available by Windows Update in place of 2004; presently you'd be offered 2004 by WU then the 20H2 enablement package. All downloads are available following the relevant article in the News section.

It's an evolving scenario following the pattern of 1903/1909.
