Microsoft introduces paid security updates for Windows 10 home users.
TL;DR Summary
Microsoft will allow all Windows 10 customers, including home users, to purchase Extended Security Updates (ESU) for an additional three years after the end of support date in October 2025. The ESU program will provide critical and important security updates but will not include new features or non-security updates. While Microsoft recommends upgrading to Windows 11, the ESU program is available for those who cannot or do not want to upgrade. Pricing details for the ESU subscriptions have not been announced yet.
