Microsoft will stop delivering routine updates for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025 — but you can legitimately keep your PC on Windows 10 for another year if you act now and follow a few specific steps to enroll in Microsoft's consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. The consumer ESU is a...

The coming October deadline changes the calculus for every IT leader: staying on Windows 10 beyond its end-of-support date will be expensive, risky, and—unless tightly scoped—likely more costly than a focused migration to Windows 11 or a modern cloud-based desktop strategy. Recent analysis from...

Microsoft is ending mainstream support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025 — yet for many users the story doesn’t end there: Microsoft has opened a narrowly scoped, one‑year consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program that lets eligible Windows 10 devices receive security‑only patches...

Microsoft has given Windows 10 users a clear-but-limited escape hatch: you can keep using Windows 10 after the platform’s official end-of-support date, but only if you act before October 14, 2025 and complete the specific enrollment steps Microsoft requires. The company’s consumer Extended...

Microsoft’s decade-long support run for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025, forcing millions of home users and small businesses to choose between migrating to Windows 11, enrolling in a one-year Extended Security Updates (ESU) bridge, or continuing on an increasingly risky unsupported...

Microsoft’s decision to end mainstream support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025 has forced many CIOs and IT leaders to treat the calendar as a hard deadline: pay for time-limited Extended Security Updates (ESU), migrate to Windows 11, or accept growing operational and security risk — and the...

Free security updates for many editions of Windows 10 end on October 14, 2025, and a raft of new vendor guidance and vendor-priced Extended Security Updates (ESUs) means companies that can’t—or won’t—move are facing a material, avoidable bill. A back-of-the-envelope model circulated by Nexthink...

As Windows 10’s official support window narrows, a small-but-growing community of tools and scripts is offering a lifeline for millions of aging PCs — and Flyoobe, the rebranded successor to Flyby11, sits at the center of that movement by combining an installer‑level hardware bypass with a full...

Microsoft has set a firm deadline: Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025, and that timetable is now driving real decisions for millions of PCs worldwide — from office fleets that can’t meet Windows 11’s hardware rules to hobbyist rigs that “just work” and won’t be upgraded. The change...

If you’ve been holding off on leaving Windows 10 because of long‑standing Linux myths, now is the moment to clear the air: the common objections—about gaming, familiarity, stability, choice overload, and aesthetics—don’t hold up the way they used to, and for many Windows 10 users facing...

Microsoft’s decision to stop issuing free security updates for Windows 10 on 14 October 2025 has forced IT leaders into a binary choice: pay to buy time, or accelerate an estate-wide migration to Windows 11 — and the short-term cost of staying on Windows 10 could be measured in billions for...

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...

Microsoft’s surprise consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) window is real — and it’s urgent: Windows 10 users now have a one‑year lifeline to keep receiving security updates through October 13, 2026, but you must enroll before Windows 10’s support ends on October 14, 2025. The enrollment...

Microsoft’s surprise move to offer a one‑year safety net for Windows 10 users has become the most time‑sensitive Windows story of the moment: a consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) path is available, enrollment is controlled through a new “Enroll” option in Settings → Windows Update, and the...

As the calendar races toward October 14, 2025, a striking and inconvenient truth has emerged: a very large portion of the global PC installed base is still running Windows 10, even as Microsoft prepares to stop issuing free security updates and feature patches for that OS. PC makers, market...

Microsoft has set a hard deadline: Windows 10 reaches end-of-support on October 14, 2025 — and that looming cut-off is now the single clearest reason for many users to seriously consider new hardware, not just a software update. The message in recent sponsored coverage for the Dell 16 Plus is...
