All my computers are Windows 10 and not upgradable to Windows 11. For over a year, I have been gently warned that Microsoft will stop Windows 10 security updates on October 14, 2025.
Recently, I received notice that Microsoft was providing extended security updates (ESU) for one year through October 13, 2026. The cost is free using Microsoft account points, otherwise it is $30. ESU is good for up to 10 computers.
I decided take the update since it will allow me to continue using my programs that still work with Windows 10, but may not be compatible with Windows 11. Accessing ESU was easy. Just go to Settings>Windows Update and find out if the computer qualifies for ESU. In my less used computers, I was denied qualifying for ESU and I needed to make sure all Windows updates had been installed before becoming eligible.
Hopefully, Microsoft will do another extension next year.
