Nexthink’s warning that “sticking with Windows 10 could cost businesses billions” captured headlines for a reason: a simple arithmetic model — 121 million Windows 10 PCs multiplied by an enterprise Extended Security Update (ESU) list price of $61 per device — produces a first‑year bill in the...

Businesses have entered the critical phase between planning and full-scale implementation for the Windows 10 → Windows 11 transition, and the calendar is unforgiving: Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025 — which means device readiness, compatibility validation and a staged deployment plan...
