Operating systems, like all software, go through a defined life cycle—from launch to end of support—and this episode walks you through what each stage means. We begin by outlining the general stages: mainstream support, extended support, and end of life. You’ll learn how these stages affect security updates, driver support, and vendor troubleshooting assistance. We also examine how OS life cycle status impacts business compliance and risk management.

Compatibility concerns are also addressed, including what happens when you try to install modern apps on older systems or legacy software on newer platforms. We explain how virtualization and compatibility mode can help bridge these gaps in some cases. These topics often appear in scenario-based questions where you must recommend an appropriate course of action based on an operating system’s support status. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
