Today, Microsoft announced that Office 2021 is coming later this year, and also that Windows 10 version 21H2 is going to be a Long-Term Servicing Channel release. Office LTSC preview is in April.
Today, Microsoft announced its next big Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) releases, which means that they’re supported for longer. Both Office and Windows 10 are typically on the Semi-Annual Channel (SAC), which gets feature updates every six months. LTSC releases come every few years. Essentially, both Office and Windows 10 are getting their LTSC releases later on this year. That’s what it all adds up to, so for Windows 10, it’s going to be the 21H2 release of the OS. There’s also a new perpetual license version of Office coming, something that we’ve known since September, but now we know that it’s going to be called Office 2021.
