Still Using Windows 10? Here’s How to Get Another Year of Updates for Free

Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system will reach the end of its supported lifecycle in October 2025. However, for users who are not yet ready to upgrade, Microsoft is offering an Extended Security Update (ESU) program that will provide an additional year of security updates until October 2026. The ESU program is available to organizations and individual users running Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Pro. To enroll, users will need to purchase an ESU subscription, which can be obtained through Microsoft's Volume Licensing Service Center or authorized resellers. The ESU program is designed to provide continued security updates and bug fixes for Windows 10, ensuring that users can maintain a secure and stable computing environment until they are ready to upgrade to a newer version of the operating system. This option is particularly valuable for businesses and organizations that may have legacy applications or hardware that are not yet compatible with the latest version of Windows, or for individuals who are not yet ready to migrate to a newer operating system.
