The Windows 10 shutdown will start on December 10th, 2019 when the final security updates roll out. copied from http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/284183-microsoft-announces-end-support-for-windows-10-mobile dated jan18 2019 |

at least that gives the remaining users of the few that there are, a bit more breathing space. mind you sometimes I think security threats on mobile devices are blown out of proportion. I still use my old Galaxy S5 for work and its never had any anti virus installed! and in nearly 5 years I havnt had one single threat on the device, and it hasnt had any security updates for a long time and its still on marshmallow 6.01. either iam incredibly lucky or the risk factor is far lower than what most people think. its never been routed and is completely standard, most reliable smartphone ive ever had

mind you acccording to a tech mag I was reading the other day Windows 8.1 and 10 mobile are both very secure platforms,**(even though 8.1 support has gone) **and the article I saw described Win 10 mobile security as: 'as good as if not better than iOS' but maybe its cos hardly any sod targets it! the same reason why Macs are safer online than Windows computers I suspect.
