Microsoft will offer Windows 10 extended security update programme to individual users

[Jan]

Microsoft will offer 3 years of extra Windows 10 security updates — for a price

Microsoft will continue to offer optional security updates for Windows 10 three years after its official end-of-support (EOS) date in October 2025, but these will not be free.

In a blog post on Monday, the software giant confirmed it was following a similar approach as it did with Windows 7 by offering an extended security update (ESU) programme for its older operating system.

Debian - Easy to patch for free:

In my case, I have an Intel Core i7-6700k 4Ghz - plenty fast enough, but not supported by Windows 11. Looks like I'll be forced to upgrade to Debian or Arch Linux.

MS up to its old tricks again, forcing people to upgrade for no tangible benefit
same like ME/Vista/8

I collected my Win10 install disk from a chap on the roadside during lockdown...best R250 I spent. I see no reason to spend any amount of money to keep it going, I`ll just buy Windows 12 for R250 when it comes out though, from my guy on the roadside.

I upgraded to Windows 11 and regret it. Have endless UI issues and it is just a cluttered mess.

You might enjoy Mx Linux. It's Debian based but with some nice utilities.
