Commercial Platform Windows 10 N-2 and 5 year OS Supportability
All newly introduced 2019 and later commercial platforms (Latitude, OptiPlex, and Precision) will qualify and
ship with the most current factory installed Semi-Annual Channel Windows 10 version (N) and qualify (but
not ship) the previous two versions (N-1, N-2). This device platform OptiPlex 3070 will RTS with Windows 10
version v19H1 at time of launch, and this version will determine the N-2 versions that are initially qualified for
this platform.
For future versions of Windows 10, Dell will continue to test the commercial platform with coming Windows
10 releases during device production and for five years post-production, including both fall and spring
releases from Microsoft.
Please reference the Dell Windows as a Service (WaaS) website for additional information on N-2 and 5 year
Windows OS supportability. Website can be found at this link:
