Windows 10: Windows 10, Version 1703 - End of Service for Public vs Education

Marcus Dashoff · Jan 7, 2019

I occasionally copy text from the microsoft/technet websites, due to the fluid nature (see always changing).

Now it shows as a different date. Does the new date already include the 6 additional months for Enterprise/Education users? Or are we supposed to add 6 months ourselves to this *new* date.

As an educational institution (Unified School District), we are trying to find the absolute End-Of-Life date for Enterprise/Education, including the 6 months of added support that was added earlier this year.

Thanks,

Marcus

End of supplemental servicing for Windows 10 version 1511

Today’s post comes from John Wilcox, Principal Program Manager for Windows Servicing and Delivery, and provides clarity around supplemental servicing for Windows 10, version 1511 and how to move forward with Windows as a service.

Many customers have reported that supplemental servicing for Windows 10, version 1511 has been just what they needed to adopt Windows as a service and update to newer, supported versions of Windows 10. If you are still in the process of updating to a current version of Windows 10, mark April 10, 2018 on your calendar—that will be the last day for supplemental servicing for Windows 10, version 1511 and the last day for general servicing for Windows 10, version 1607.

Announced earlier this month, additional servicing for both Enterprise and Education editions of Windows 10, versions 1607 will be available starting in May 2018 for a duration of 6 months at no cost. As with the supplemental servicing offer for Windows 10, version 1511, this additional no-cost servicing for Windows 10, version 1607:

Includes Critical and Important security updates as defined by the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) security update severity rating system.

Is a continuance of the Windows 10 Cumulative Updates.

Is provided through all normal channels.

Is applicable only to devices and virtual machines running Enterprise and Education editions of Windows 10.

Does not require additional action from customers for eligible devices.

Volume License customers who need more than the additional six months of no-cost servicing beyond April 10, 2018 can alternatively secure 12 months of additional servicing (starting from April 10, 2018) with paid supplemental servicing and should contact their account team for more information.

We’re committed to helping our commercial customers deliver a secure and productive modern workplace and stay current on Windows 10. Windows 10 will continue to be a Microsoft supported product until 2025 and customers working to stay current will continue to have support channels open to them. If you need assistance to be successful with Windows as a service, or have any concerns or questions around Windows 10, please contact your account team to ask about available options, including:

Windows Analytics – a service that provides an end-to-end upgrade solution with actionable insights into device performance, reliability, and health so that you can broadly update Windows 10 devices to the latest release (Windows 10, version 1709) quickly and with confidence.

Microsoft FastTrack – a collection of tools, resources, and expert guidance to help you optimize your move to Windows 10.

Built-in apps on Windows 10 Education, build 1703

Hi,

I have a general question and wondered if anyone had any insight on this. On Windows 10 Education, build 1703, do the built-in Photos, Movies & TV, and Calculator app remain on this build version, or are they at some point removed? I ask because when I created
an image for my organization using Windows 10 Education, build 1609, those three apps were removed and they are somewhat crucial and beneficial.

I'd like to know if they are kept on build 1703 and not removed, this way I can continue with creating various images using Windows 10 Education, build 1703. I also want to specify that I noticed the apps removed when I used build 1609, but also after I
upgraded to build 1703. Currently I have installed Windows 10 Education from an ISO that is the actual build, and not an upgrade.

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
