Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 reaches end of support (EOS) on October 13, 2026, after which Microsoft will stop delivering security updates, bug fixes, and technical support. Organizations that cannot migrate to a newer release by that date can purchase Extended Security Updates (ESU), a paid program that provides critical security patches for up to three years. ESU licenses for LTSB 2016 will be sold through Volume Licensing or a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) starting in Q2 2026. Activation is performed using a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) and the slmgr.vbs command-line tool.
