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.

Home users can only buy one year of extra Windows 10 updates—for $30 per PC

Windows 10 users will face the end of new security updates in October 2025. Microsoft will provide extended security updates (ESU) for businesses and educational institutions for up to three years, with a tiered pricing structure that increases annually. Individual consumers will only have access to one year of extended security updates for a fee per device, with no options for additional years. This pricing is lower than that for businesses. Consumers can enroll in the ESU program closer to the end of support in 2025, prompting them to consider their next steps regarding hardware or software upgrades.
