Windows 10 gets a version of the program that extended updates for Windows 7.

ANDREW CUNNINGHAM - 12/5/2023

 

 

Windows 10's end-of-support date is October 14, 2025. That's the day that most Windows 10 PCs will receive their last security update and the date when most people should find a way to move to Windows 11 to ensure that they stay secure.

As it has done for other stubbornly popular versions of Windows, though, Microsoft is offering a reprieve for those who want or need to stay on Windows 10: three additional years of security updates, provided to those who can pay for the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program.

The initial announcement, written by Windows Servicing and Delivery Principal Product Manager Jason Leznek, spends most of its time encouraging users and businesses to upgrade to Windows 11 rather than staying on 10, either by updating their current computers, upgrading to new PCs or transitioning to a Windows 365 cloud-based PC instead.

    The same here for me, I can’t afford a new laptop so I will keep this one going until it packs in totally.

    You get the same with macOS. Many people can’t afford newer kit to support newer macOS and security updates so stay with old hardware

    If I remember right, when Win 10 first came out, the big push by Microsoft to upgrade to Win 10 started. They said it would be the last upgrade. Now look, Win 11 is out and they want to con people into buying updates for Win 10. Like Bill Gates doesn’t have enough money.

    At least with macOS you know you’re getting screwed when your computer gets old and can’t upgrade. LOL
