I own an iMAC mid-2010 currently running High Sierra 10.13.6. Very happy with the hardware and stability of MacOS. How long can I expect Apple to support this system.

The Mid 2010 iMac is already on the Obsolete Products Worldwide list - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624

From the top of the web page above -

Obsolete products are those that were discontinued more than 7 years ago. Monster-branded Beats products are considered obsolete regardless of when they were purchased. Apple has discontinued all hardware service for obsolete products with no exceptions. Service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products. All Apple Retail Stores and the Canadian, European, Latin American, and Asia-Pacific operating regions follow the U.S. product list, but make no distinction between vintage and obsolete. When applied to Apple Retail Stores and these operating regions, products on the U.S. vintage list (all models) are considered obsolete.

If it makes you feel any better, we still use a 2007 iMac in my laboratory that runs El Capitan. It was upgraded with an SSD and extra ram. It runs so well and fast that we have no intention to get rid of it.
