Windows 10 Red Screen! (Important Updates Needed)

Question

I am receiving a red screen on my workstations as shown below. Is this for real, or just some sort of a virus or spam?

It is stating that my copy of Windows 10 will stop and I need to download a 6 GB update.

• I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
• Dell workstations and laptop.
• Using Kaspersky Endpoint Antivirus.

Actually, it is telling you that your version on Windows will no longer be supported after April 10th, 2018.

You are presumably using an out of date version of Windows 10.

Windows 1511 will no longer be supported after 10.04.2018.

Microsoft is planning to release its next Windows 10 update in April. The software giant hasn’t officially revealed its name, but the company is planning to label it the Spring Creators Update. Microsoft has, however, revealed the Spring Creators Update will be released in April. In an update to a blog post today, Microsoft provides a Windows 10 overview that includes the April release date, and plans to support the OS version until October 2019.
