Windows Server 2016 has reached its end of life support lifecycle on January 11, 2022. There are five years of planned security updates until January 11, 2027.
We don’t recommend running software that is not currently supported due to a higher vulnerability to security breaches and limiting features. The below table outlines key dates for various products’ end-of-life and end-to-extended support. If your version is moving into Extended Support, we recommend creating a plan to migrate to a newer version before the Expended Support for your version ends.
