    only the home & pro editions of 1909 will be EOL on May 2021 while the enterprise & education editions of 1909 will continue to be supported until May 2022.

    next W10 build is 21H1 (build 19043, which is really 2004/20H1 with two EPs [aka. enable packages] installed) which is due sometime in spring 2021. so yeah you can continue to use 1909 until 21H1 is ready for public release

    I caved and installed it because i got annoyed by the notifications warning me that support will end for 1909 soon and also Microsoft will start forcing people to upgrade to 20H2 anyways.

    I recommend reinstalling windows when you upgrade to 20h2 so you wont run into issues because there are a lot of major changes in the 20h1 update. So far i havent run into any issues as of yet but i'll soon find out.

    When it ends they most likely will do a update to update the 1909 to the latest build so one shouldn't worry til that time comes.
