You're just a year away from the end of Windows 10. But don't worry, Microsoft isn't leaving fans in the dark just yet. Businesses already know how much they'll pay for extended support, and now consumers are getting in on the action too. Microsoft is offering a one-year extension of security updates for a sweet price of $30. That's right, just $30! But be warned, this deal is a once-off. Once the year is up, that's it. No more security updates, no more extra time. So, what's the catch? Well, you won't get any new features, bug fixes, or technical support. Just the essential security updates.

Windows 10 has been a superstar in the operating system world. It's still a favorite among many users, even with Windows 11 making some noise. Microsoft is betting big on Windows 11, but they understand that not everyone is ready to make the switch. That's why they're dangling this ESU carrot in front of consumers. But they won't be too keen on you sticking with Windows 10 forever. They want you to join the future with Windows 11.

Why the slow adoption of Windows 11? Well, it has some strict hardware requirements that older machines can't meet. Things like TPM 2. 0 security chips make it tough for older PCs to run this newer OS. But there are workarounds, like the Flyby11 tool that helps bypass these restrictions.

In other news, 0patch announced they'll support Windows 10 for at least five years with their microscopic patching solutions. So, even after Microsoft closes the door, there might still be some help keeping your Windows 10 safe.
