Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases through that date. Existing LTSC releases will continue to receive updates beyond that date based on their specific lifecycles.

This also makes it easy to block Win 10 from upgrading to 11, just disable tpm in BIOS. From where I'm sitting, that's kinda convenient.
Ok, but where will you be be sitting on Oct. 15th 2025?
That's where you grab a W10 Enterprise LTSC iso which has support until 2032.
Already got a surface running it.
Where would you... find one of these? For a friend
There are a few copies floating around torrent sites.
Usually it's sku conversion changes so it's not an eval mode.
Or find a friendly neighborhood n3rd who might have one. 😉
Also you can entirely uninstall edge!
