Once end of support has been reached, Microsoft will stop providing technical support and bug fixes for newly discovered issues that may impact the usability or stability of servers.

End of support means the end of security updates, which may leave your business exposed to security risks and compliance concerns. For many customers, end of support also presents an opportunity to modernise applications and infrastructure.
