Hey Lohenthal 

 

Being out of support usually means that you will no longer receive updates on your legacy software. You will not be able to call MS for help and MS would no longer release Security fixes for vulnerabilities for your software. While it is still possible to setup hybrid from an updated exchange 2010 box :

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/exchange-2010-end-of-support?view=o365-worldwide#:~:text=Exchange%20Server%202010%20reached%20its,the%20time%20to%20start%20planning.

If you read between the lines Microsoft carefully emphasizes on the state your servers were in as of October 13, 2020 before deciding to continue with hybrid. On some outdated boxes setting up hybrid might not be a good idea; third party tools like migrationwiz etc may be a better choice for those servers.

 

Thanks
