Microsoft’s Windows 10 Extended Security Updates for Consumers – Not Quite Here Yet
We are receiving numerous inquiries about where to sign up for Microsoft Extended Security Updates for Consumers, which will provide critical security updates for Windows 10 for one year (ending in October 2026).
While Microsoft has already announced the October 14, 2025, end-of-support date for Windows 10 consumer versions, and that a one-year ESU (Extended Security Updates) option will cost $30, the specifics on how consumers can purchase and enroll in this program are still being finalized.
Based on official Microsoft statements and community discussions, you can expect the full details regarding consumer ESU program enrollment to be announced closer to the Windows 10 end-of-support date in October 2025.
Microsoft has indicated that these details will be shared on their “consumer end of support page” at a later date. So, keep an eye on official Microsoft channels, particularly their Windows Experience Blog and support pages, as we approach the Fall of 2025.
So, if you’re using Windows 10 and you’d like to use it safely for an additional year (for $30), be patient. Details will be coming sometime this summer.
