Microsoft to stop Windows 10 updates on this date unless you pay
Microsoft has announced its plans to discontinue support for Windows 10 by October 14, 2025, but will offer Extended Security Updates (ESU) for those who wish to continue using the older operating system. The ESU subscription will come at a price, with users required to pay $61 for the first year, doubling to $122 for the second year, and increasing to $244 in the third year. This fee applies to both individual users and businesses, with each Windows 10 device needing its own ESU licence.
