An administrator received an email stating that the OS they are currently supporting will no longer receive security updates and patches. Which of the following is the most likely reason?
A.
Support from the computer’s manufacturer is expiring
B.
The OS will be considered end of life
C.
The built-in security software is being removed from the next OS version

FromQuentin Docter – CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide:
“End-of-life refers to the point when an OS vendor no longer issues updates or support. Systems at EOL pose security risks and must be upgraded or isolated.”
