Hello Soxy,
Confusing indeed
If you need you OLD/existing archives (or better, the items in those archives) to also have the new retention value, you need to change the EXISTING retention policy.
If you create a new retention policy, then set that as default, it will only apply to items archived as of the time that new category was enabled. This means that old items will stay forever, and new items will (eventually) expire.
If you have an ok from the company (legal/compliance etc) to change the retention to 10 years, I would change the current active retention category to that, to make sure already archived items will expire when older than 10 years.
