Microsoft announced prices for continuing Windows 10 security updates
05.04.24
Microsoft will end official support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. For those who want to continue receiving security updates, Microsoft is offering an Extended Security Update (ESU) program that will become a paid service, costing $61 per device for business users for the first year.
The price of ESU doubles each subsequent year, reaching $122 in the second year and $244 in the third. If users decide to renew their subscription after the second year, they will pay the first year’s price again.
Educational institutions will be able to take advantage of a special offer: the first year of support will cost them $1 per device, the second year will cost them $2, and the third year will cost them $4. Consumers will be offered their own terms and conditions, details of which will be announced later.
Another option for users is to upgrade to Windows 11, although this may not be possible for devices that do not meet the system requirements of the new OS. According to StatCounter, 69% of users are still running Windows 10, while only 27% are using Windows 11.
Microsoft emphasizes that ESUs are intended for temporary support and are not a long-term solution. At the same time, the company is offering discounts to customers using its cloud services, including Intune and Windows Autopatch.
