When we are approaching Windows 10 at the end of support On October 14, 2025, Microsoft throws another bone more stubborn users. Company Previously announced This is the first time consumers will be able to purchase one year of expanded Windows 10 (ESUS) security updates for $ 30. Today, Microsoft revealed That you can also use 1000 points of remuneration to snap ESU. It can be useful if, like me, you slowly accumulated Microsoft Reewards and completely forgot that they existed. (You can earn points by finding a search for Bing, purchases in the Microsoft store and playing Xbox games.)
In order for the resume, ESU Windows 10 will receive user errors, safety renewal and technical support until October 13, 2026. If you do not pay for ESU, you can still continue to use Windows 10, you just won’t get any large updates. At least, however, Microsoft will continue to provide MS 365 application security updates, as well as Defender Windows antivirus intelligence up to October 2028. I also set to argue that you will begin to see many notifications that bring you update to Windows 11 after this October.
Microsoft says Windows 10 users will be able to register with ESU through Windows notifications and settings. The registration master is currently available for Windows Insider testers, and the company plans to start it for common users in July with wide availability in mid -August.
I can understand why Windows 10 users do not want to move. It was Rock update After a fiasco Windows 8, and it is simply annoying that your workflow for a whole work process for a completely new OS. But me I also liked Windows 11 when he made his debut in 2021Since he proposed a more refined Windows experience. Microsoft also examined most of my problems with Windows 11 to date – for example, you can finally see the names of applications in the taskbar, instead of hiding them for aesthetics.
