Microsoft says that all Windows 10 customers will be able to buy three extra years of security updates through the company’s Extended Security Updates (ESU) program after the end of support (EOS) date.

After Windows 10 reaches the end of support on October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide users with technical assistance or bug fixes for new issues affecting their systems' security, stability, or usability.

The upcoming Windows 10 22H2 version is the final Windows release, with all editions to continue to receive monthly security updates until the EOS date.

According to Statcounter Global Stats data, over 68% of all Windows systems are still running Windows 10, while only 26% of them run Windows 11.

Customers who don't want to upgrade to Windows 11 or who don't have an eligible device can subscribe to the upcoming ESU program.

However, Redmond has yet to share pricing details, with more information to be announced later.
