Windows 10 is officially dead to Microsoft come October 14. Microsoft had said you'd need to cough up $30 to a year to add another year of security updates. But now there's a way to keep your install of Win 10 safe for free. But it's a little convoluted.
Microsoft says you can now have that extra 12 months of “critical” and “important” security updates via the Extended Security Updates program for no charge provided you use Windows Backup to sync your Windows settings to OneDrive. The catch is that you only get 5 GB of One Drive storage for free. So, that severely limits your backup options.
