A week from now, Microsoft is set to officially cut support for Windows 10, leading to the single biggest jump in dumped computers. Of course, you can enroll in Microsoft's Extended Security Updates (ESU) program to continue receiving security updates for an extra year beyond the October 14, 2025, cutoff date.
To enroll in the program, you can either sync your PC settings to the cloud via a Microsoft account or pay $30 or 1,000 Microsoft reward points. However, Microsoft recently backtracked on the move, at least for users in the European Economic Area, allowing them to access the ESU program for free without meeting the requirements highlighted above.
