If you’re on Windows 10, you’re being pushed hard to move to Windows 11 as Windows 10 is going end of life roughly a year from now. Now there are people who can’t or won’t move to Windows 11. Maybe it’s because they like Windows 10 more than they like Windows 11. Or it’s due to the fact that Windows 11 may require them to buy a new computer because they can’t upgrade from Windows 10 on their current hardware. Either way, Microsoft has a solution for that.
Microsoft has published guide on preparing for Windows 10’s end of support. The guide notes the possibility of purchasing an Extended Security Updates (ESU) subscription that will keep Windows 10 PCs secure for a fee of $30 per year. For the first time, this service will be accessible to both individual consumers and business clients.
Now I know that there will be people who won’t be thrilled with this. And this adds to the perception that Windows 11 is simply being shoved down their throats. Microsoft will have to navigate that to avoid having people flee Windows and heading to the nearest Apple Store instead of upgrading.
