For those of us who haven't moved on to Windows 11, support for Windows 10 will officially end on October 14, 2025. However, Microsoft has announced that you can purchase one extra year of Extended Security Updates (ESU) for $30, which is the first time the company has done this.
There are some caveats when it comes to this extended support. In a blog post, Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's Executive Vice President and Consumer Chief Marketing Officer, explained, "Enrolled PCs will continue to receive Critical and Important security updates for Windows 10; however, new features, bug fixes, and technical support will no longer be available from Microsoft."
