The Home and Pro editions will get 24 months of support.

Microsoft is moving to a single annual update per year for Windows 11. But this time, in a way that IT will likely find much more palatable. With Windows 11, Microsoft is shifting servicing gears yet again. That shift meant many IT pros just ignored the first annual feature update, leaving it to consumers to further test it, and, instead, deployed only the fall update each year.

It also changed the support timetable so that the Windows 10 feature update which the company typically released in the spring got 18 months of support, while the 'fall' feature update got 30 months of support. Microsoft continued to try to soften the impact of multiple feature updates per year by changing the ability for administrators to delay updates. And that was still one too many for many IT pros. By 2017, that timetable evolved into two Windows 10 feature updates per year. Microsoft announced plans to provide feature updates two or three times a year for Windows 10. When Microsoft introduced Windows 10 in 2015, a big part of that announcement was the new servicing model for the operating system.
