Windows 10 will become unsupported but I still anticipate it working fine even without updates. I suspect office will work the same on existing machines.

You can safely use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC or Windows 10 IoT LTSC perfectly safely until 2032--as that's when the LTSC will stop receiving updates.

But the versions will always work. They simply won't be protected against new threats or bugs.

You will continue to receive Windows Defender updates. I have a Windows 8.1 tablet that keeps updating Microsoft Defender antivirus. It's only used to connect to RTSP streams for music.
