> Unless noted otherwise, when an OS is supported for a SQL Major version, it remains supported for all subsequent servicing releases. For example, if SQL Server 2016 release to manufacturing (RTM) is supported on Windows 10, this implies that any CUs on top of SQL Server 2016 RTM or SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 1 (SP1) are supported on Windows 10.
