Now that Microsoft has ended regular updates for Windows 10, many users are wondering what comes next. If you’re not quite ready to buy a new computer or upgrade to Windows 11, you’re not alone. Millions of people and small businesses are in the same situation — running reliable systems that still work perfectly fine but facing a future without security updates.
Fortunately, Microsoft has introduced a way to extend your Windows 10 protection without rushing into a hardware upgrade. It’s called the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program.
🔒 What Are Extended Security Updates (ESU)?
The Extended Security Updates program gives you continued access to critical and important security patches for Windows 10 even after official support ends on October 14, 2025.
This helps keep your system safe from new threats while you plan your next steps — whether that’s upgrading your current PC, migrating to Windows 11, or purchasing new hardware.
💰 How Much Will It Cost?
Microsoft has released the pricing for Windows 10 Extended Security Updates:
Home Users / Individuals: $30 per device for one year of extended updates.
Business Users: Starting at $61 per device for the first year, with the price doubling each year (Year 2 = $122, Year 3 = $244).
Each device covered under ESU continues receiving critical security fixes, helping reduce the risk of data breaches or malware attacks.
⚠️ Why You Shouldn’t Ignore This
Once official support ends, unpatched systems become prime targets for cyberattacks. Running outdated software can lead to:
Increased exposure to ransomware and viruses
Software compatibility problems
Data loss or corruption
Non-compliance with security standards like HIPAA or PCI DSS
