Microsoft on Sept. 5 upended Windows 10 support. Again.
In February, it added six months to the usual 18 for each twice-annual feature upgrade, but declined to say whether the deal would be permanent or just a stopgap. Three months later, it became clear it was the latter when Microsoft said it wouldn't offer the same to April's upgrade.
Apparently on a mission to confuse customers, Microsoft this month backtracked and suddenly announced that support for Windows 10 would last 30 months. Hosannas were sung.
Of course, there had to be a catch or two; those hallelujahs fell silent.
We're here to explain the catches and answer other questions about the latest head-spinning turn in Windows 10.
