"Customers currently using Windows 10 Pro should continue to monitor Microsoft's life cycle announcements because they will eventually need to budget for Windows [10] Enterprise as Windows [10] Pro becomes more 'pro-sumer' and small-business oriented," they wrote in a six-item list of recommendations.
Another component of Microsoft's current Windows 10 support strategy, something the company has labeled "paid supplemental servicing," was also out of bounds for those running Windows 10 Pro. The extra support, which Microsoft will sell at an undisclosed price, is available only to Enterprise and Education customers.
Paid supplemental servicing adds 12 months to the 18 months provided free of charge.
"The extensions and paid support option only apply to the Enterprise and Education SKUs," Kleynhans and Silver said in their report, "Plan and Budget for Short Windows and Office Support Cycles Based on Microsoft's February 2018 Announcements," which was published by Gartner last month. "Customers using Windows 10 Pro will still see support end after 18 months. In this way, Microsoft is further reinforcing that it expects enterprise customers to move to the Enterprise edition of Windows 10."
