Update for forced win version 10
Update for forced win version 10
Today a new update was released for Windows 10. The message explains that if your system is running Windows 10 versions 1507, 1511, 1607 or 1703, you’ll get a notice asking you to install the latest security patches. Windows Update will attempt to apply these updates automatically. Click "Update now" when prompted to proceed. Some devices can also receive updates directly through the Windows Update Client if they haven’t installed the newest versions yet.
Windows 10 versions 1507 and 1511 are marked as "end of service," which means they no longer get monthly security and quality updates. To stay protected, Microsoft suggests upgrading to the latest Windows 10 version, specifically Windows 10 Version 1709. Versions 1607 and 1703 aren’t yet at end of service but should be updated to the newest release for ongoing protection.

Windows 10 releases newer versions periodically, which means older builds become unsupported once updates stop coming. Versions 1507 and 1511 have reached their end of life with no more security updates. Windows 1607 will expire in April this year and 1703 in October. For continued support on older builds, you must purchase Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB. The Clover Trail Atom CPUs are the only exception, remaining supported through 1607 until 2026.
