Windows 10 Pro Licensed

Windows 10 Pro Licensed is a major release of Microsoft‘s Windows NT operating system. Devices in enterprise environments can receive these updates at a slower pace. Or use long-term support milestones that only receive critical updates. Such as security patches, over their ten-year lifespan of extended support.^[21][22] In June 2021, Microsoft announced that support for Windows 10 editions which are not in the Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) will end on October 14, 2025.

Windows 10 received generally positive reviews upon its original release. Critics also praised the improvements to Windows 10’s bundled software over Windows 8.1, Xbox Live integration. As well as the functionality and capabilities of the Cortana personal assistant and the replacement of Internet Explorer with Microsoft Edge. However, media outlets have been critical of the changes to operating system behaviors. Including mandatory update installation, privacy concerns over data collection performed by the OS for Microsoft and its partners. And adware-like tactics used to promote the operating system on its release.

Microsoft initially aimed to have Windows 10 installed on over one billion devices within three years of its release;^[21] that goal was ultimately reached almost five years after release on March 16, 2020. And Windows 10 is now the most used version in virtually all countries.
