Welcome to the new Office End of Support community!
This community will provide a forum to discuss topics related to the end of support for all Office client products, including key dates to be aware of, recommended upgrade paths, support resources, and technical details spanning all affected audiences.

Workflow 2013 Deprecation
As mentioned in the following article: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-end-of-support-blog/support-update-for-sharepoint-2010-workflows-in-microsoft-365/ba-p/1505453 Workflow 2013 will become deprecated in the near future. When workflow 2013 will reach end of support, does this also mean that the related content type 'Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013)' will be deleted? How will this work? This would not be desired in some cases, because maybe we would want the new power automate to use the same data structure for their tasks. In that case, we could still reuse the same content type which reduces the impact of the rework. Also, there is a lot of historical data for us in these workflow tasks (or a content type that inherits from 'Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013)'), deleting the content type would mess up this historical data. With kind regards, Stijn BrouwersSupport for Office 2010—and Office 2016 for Mac—has ended: Here’s what you need to know
On October 13, we marked the end of support for Office 2010 and Office 2016 for Mac. This means that we’ll no longer provide technical support, bug fixes, or security updates for these products, and organizations that continue to use them may face increased security risks and compliance issues over time. The requirements for connecting to Office 365 services have also changed—and customers will now need Microsoft 365 Apps, Office 2019, or Office 2016 to connect to Office 365 services like Exchange Online and SharePoint Online. While we will not take any active measures to block legacy versions of the Office client from connecting, these older clients will fall out of step with the service enhancements and may present performance and/or reliability issues over time. Read the full announcement of these changes here.
Windows Server 2022 and M365
I'm looking at the Win and Office support matrix and Win Server 2022 and M365 Apps aren't supported. Can anyone explain why this is? It looks like Microsoft if going to remove the ability to host virtual desktop for clients and install M365 licensing on it. I assume in a push forcing people to use Azure.

We have Office 365 Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel 1902, which goes out of support on September 8, 2020. After that date Microsoft have published that we will get no more Technical Support for issues, bug fixes or security fixes. However is there any published Microsoft information on connectivity to Office 365 Services? The only links I can find are ambiguous as to whether the "in mainstream support" phrase applies to Office 365 ProPlus or just Office Perpetual clients: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365-blog/office-365-system-requirements-changes-for-office-client/ba-p/62327 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2018/09/06/helping-customers-shift-to-a-modern-desktop/Last day for OPPTransition for Office ProPlus
