The list which is shown below shows that the duration for support for most devices is 4 years, however, there are some devices that get 5 years of support, while a few such as the Surface Pro 3 get 7 years of support.
A few of the devices on the list have already passed their end of service dates while nearly a third will reach their end of service dates next year. The Surface Go, Surface Studio 2, Surface Pro 6, and Surface Laptop 2 which were released in 2018 will reach their end of service dates in 2022.
Microsoft said it decided to release the list following requests from customers so as “to help plan and manage hardware and software deployments”.
