- **Technical Support (Only) phase** - After a new platform and engine version is released, support for older versions (N-2) reduce to [technical support only](msda-updates-previous-versions-technical-upgrade-support.md). Platform and engine versions older than N-2 are no longer supported. Technical support continues to be provided for upgrades from the Windows 10 release version (see [Platform version included with Windows 10 releases](#platform-version-included-with-windows-10-releases)) to the latest platform version.

During the technical support (only) phase, commercially reasonable support incidents are provided through Microsoft Customer Service & Support and Microsoft's managed support offerings (such as Premier Support). If a support incident requires escalation to development for further guidance, requires a nonsecurity update, or requires a security update, customers are asked to upgrade to the latest platform version or an intermediate update (*).
