The policy will start from May this year, and ask the vast majority of Windows 8.1 users to act quickly. Of course, there is no need to worry about Windows 8 users who have not yet upgraded to 8.1. As for the future, it's hard to say-because Microsoft has already announced that it will stop supporting Windows 8 in the near future.
