Microsoft is asking for 30 of your American dollars to keep Windows 10 safe for a year after it’s put out to pasture

Windows 10 users will lose official support from Microsoft on October 14, 2025. The Extended Security Updates (ESU) program will be available to consumers for the first time, allowing users of older systems to receive critical security updates for an additional year. The ESU program is a temporary solution and not intended as a long-term fix. Consumers will pay a fee for a single year of security updates, while businesses will face escalating costs that double each year. If a business joins in the second year, it must also pay for the first year's updates, as the ESUs are cumulative. The ESU program provides a way to maintain security for Windows 10 users before transitioning to Windows 11.

Exactly One Year to Go Until Support Ends for Windows 10

Microsoft will cease support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, ending free system updates, technical assistance, and critical security patches. Approximately 240 million computers globally, or one in five running Windows 10, may be at risk of obsolescence due to hardware incompatibility with Windows 11. Businesses are advised to verify device compatibility, develop an upgrade plan, and consider alternatives like Linux or Google’s OS Flex. It is also recommended to back up sensitive data before transitioning and to invest in third-party security software if continuing to use Windows 10 after the support deadline.
