Microsoft gives admins an extra three years of Extended Security Updates for Windows Server 2012


There is some good news for anyone who wants or needs to stick with Windows Server 2012 for a little longer.
Just a month after Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Embedded Server 2012 R2 reached end of support, Microsoft has announced that administrators are able to get three additional years of Extended Security Updates (ESUs).
Microsoft no longer supports Windows 11 21H2 or Windows Server 2012


With the release of this month's security updates for Windows, Microsoft has brought to an end support for not only Windows Server 2012, but also Windows 11 21H2.
What this means for users of these versions of the operating system is that there will be no more updates of any sort made available -- and this means both security updates and non-security updates. For anyone who wants or needs to stick with Windows 2012, things could get expensive, but there are free upgrades available to those currently running Windows 11 21H2.
