Microsoft is implementing a paid Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for Windows 10, with escalating costs for business customers that resemble its past program for Windows 7.
The ESU program’s pricing for businesses starts at $61 for the first year, doubling in the second and third years, culminating in a total cost of $427 per PC.
In contrast, education customers will benefit from a significantly cheaper ESU program, starting at just $1 for the first year and totaling only $7 for three years.
For businesses, the Windows 10 ESU costs 22% more than the equivalent program for Windows 7, reflecting the rising price for continued security updates.
