Part 3: dates in the diary

Some Microsoft changes are optional. These come with dates.

From 1 September, SMS and voice sign in starts making way for passkeys, with hard enforcement in February. Copilot licensing has reset. And SQL Server 2016, Exchange 2016 and 2019, and Windows 10 LTSB all leave support this autumn.

Miss the dates and it gets urgent quickly. Peter McLeavery has pulled together the deadlines worth putting in the diary now, and what to review before each one. This is where Flexcare 2.0 earns its keep: changes handled as they land, not scrambled after the fact.
