First, Windows 8(.1) is supported until 2023. Second, Windows 8 drivers will usually work smoothly under Windows 10, and I see plenty Windows 8 drivers for the T420 in Driver Matrix. There's even a BIOS update from 2018-06-25.

My T430 (one generation later) received a BIOS update in February and I expect more to come.

If using outdated drivers on unsupported hardware is your idea of full vendor support then enjoy. Your mention of a newer model doesn’t change anything about the op.
