That's the official line, but my guess is that it will be extended way past that. Windows 10 is going to be the new XP.

LTSC versions are officially supported for 10 years, so some version of Windows 10 will be supported for at least a decade. Windows Server 2019/client v1809 LTSC is supported until 2029, for example.

In one way it's funny: if I have to use an insecure OS I may as well go back to Windows 7.
