Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. This means crucial security updates will cease. Microsoft offers Extended Security Updates (ESU) for personal use, allowing users to pay $30 for another year of updates.
While commercial users can purchase up to three years of Extended Security Updates which cost more, personal users are limited to a one-year option at $30. Microsoft is encouraging transitions to Windows 11.
Microsoft provides security intelligence updates for Defender Antivirus until at least October 2028, but is emphasizing the need for users to upgrade to Windows 11, noting that adapting to change is essential.
In a blog post, Microsoft acknowledged its past claim that Windows 10 was the 'last version of Windows,' reinforcing their push towards the newer Windows 11 despite the loyalty they've received from Windows 10 users.
