If you have your version 1903 launched in May of 2019 and you want to keep it, you can do it by December 2020 when the support is over. And if you have the 1909 version launched in November 2019 then you have until May 2021 to use it safely.

In a blog post, Panos Panay, chief executive of the Windows and Equipment Division, spoke of Windows 10X. The operating system launched at the end of 2019 is designed to work with two-screen equipment like Surface Neo, which is not yet available.

However, starting with the trends being implemented today, Microsoft decided to withdraw from the initiative by staying on the regular 2n1 laptops and equipment. Panay said Microsoft will focus on implementing Windows 10X for single-screen equipment.
