Your Windows 10 PC Won't Get Security Updates After Oct. 14 Unless You Do This

Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. However, users can still receive security updates for an additional year by enrolling in the Extended Security Update (ESU) program. The ESU program provides critical security updates for Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education editions after the end-of-support date. To qualify for the ESU program, users must have a Windows 10 Enterprise or Education license. The program is available for purchase through volume licensing channels, with the cost increasing each year. While the program is designed for commercial and business users, individual users can also purchase the ESU licenses through authorized resellers. By enrolling in the ESU program, Windows 10 users can continue to receive important security updates and maintain the security of their devices even after the official end-of-support date. This option is particularly crucial for organizations and individuals who cannot immediately migrate to a newer version of Windows.
