As of October 2025, most Windows 10 PCs will stop receiving new security updates. Consumers can buy only one year of extended updates at $30, while businesses get three years.
Microsoft's approach to end-user security updates prioritizes businesses, which will receive extended updates for up to three years, whereas consumers aren't provided the same level of support.
The single year of extended security updates for $30 is still more economical for users with older PCs, which offers a temporary solution until upgrades are necessary.
Although it's cheaper for consumers to purchase a single year of updates for Windows 10 compared to buying new hardware, many will still have to abandon the operating system sooner than expected.
