What is the difference between mainstream support and extended support?
Mainstream
support
Micrrosoft will offer mainstream support for a minimum of 5 years
from the date of a product's general availability, or for 2 years after the
successor product is released, whichever is longer. For example, if you buy a
new version of Windows and five years later another version is released, you
will still have two years of support left for the previous
version.
Extended support
Microsoft will offer extended support for either a minimum of 5
years from the date of a product's general availability, or for 2 years after
the second successor product (two versions later) is released, whichever is
longer.
