Stay secure for another year

Your Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) protection has been extended


We understand that moving to a new PC can take time. As part of our ongoing commitment to helping customers stay secure during the transition, the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for personal devices is being provided an additional year. Coverage will now be available through October 12, 2027.

As a current user enrolled in ESU, you will automatically receive an additional year of protection. No action is required on your end, the extension will be automatic.



Nice to see they've granted an extension, given the RAM shortage has pushed prices much higher, although I'm not sure those prices will be trending any lower in the coming year.  I bit the bullet and purchased a new Panther Lake Windows 11 laptop a couple months ago for that reason.

I switched over to Ubuntu for my daily driver.  The games I play on Steam so far have run under linux.

Came here to post the exact same thing. This gives me a little more time to get Linux up and running, and/or get the Windows 10 LTSC or whatever it’s called version.
