The newer versions, i.e., Windows 10 November Update v1511 and Windows 10 Anniversary Update v1607, will continue to receive regular security and feature updates.
“With the availability of Windows 10, version 1607 to the VLSC on January 26th, the 60-day grace period for Windows 10, version 1507 will begin. That means, after March 26th, 2017, Windows 10, version 1507 will no longer be serviced as only the two most Current Branch for Business (CBB) versions are actively serviced.”
