Stay on Windows 10: Essential Steps Before October 14
Microsoft ends support for Windows 10 on October 14, but users can still stay on the OS by enrolling in free Extended Security Updates (ESU) programs or using workarounds, with coverage lasting until October 13, 2026. Options include earning points, backing up to OneDrive, or paying $30 for critical updates for a year. Many users are sticking with Windows 10 due to hardware restrictions and the continued use of Office apps for three more years, though only security updates will be provided during this period.
