According to Microsoft a "device needs to install the latest version (feature update) before current version reaches end of service to help keep your device secure and have it remain supported by Microsoft". As with previous Windows operating systems, any device running such an unsupported version of Windows (which no longer receives security patches) is potentially affected by the "unfixed vulnerabilities" issue beginning with the "end of support" date. To counter this Microsoft has designed the update system for the Home and Pro editions of Windows 10 so that in most cases if technically possible the latest Windows version is downloaded and installed automatically this has however drawn criticism due to other problems such forced upgrades can introduce.
