Microsoft's announcement about Windows 10 Extended Security Updates starkly differentiates treatment between individual consumers and enterprises. While home users can access a year of security updates free of charge, businesses must pay steep fees starting at $61 per device, increasing to $244 in the third year without any free options available. This pricing strategy underlines Microsoft's push for enterprise customers to transition to Windows 11 and highlights a shift in its support policies favoring cloud adoption, as noted by industry analysts.
Meanwhile, businesses must still pay $61 per device for first-year coverage, with costs doubling annually thereafter, and there are no pathways to free access.
This fee is a nudge towards Windows 11 and confirms that the vendor has a firm intention to see enterprise customers moving to Windows 11.
