Windows 10 released June 2015 so it is supported for over ten years.
Microsoft full hotfix support currently is for two concurrent releases.

Samsung & Google full hotfix support is 7 years, up to seven releases.
Apple's hotfix support is never more than one release at a time, 5 years.

Simple question. Which of those is the shortest & least number of releases?
