Microsoft’s official support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025 — but Microsoft has opened a one‑year safety valve for consumers: the Windows 10 Consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. You can keep receiving critical and important security patches through October 13, 2026 by...

Microsoft’s planned one‑year lifeline for Windows 10 users is live — but don’t be surprised if your PC still doesn’t show the “Enroll now” option in Settings. Microsoft has pushed a staged rollout of the consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) enrollment experience into Windows Update, and an...
Microsoft has quietly begun rolling out an “Enroll now” button inside Windows Update on Windows 10 that lets users opt into the Consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program — a short-term lifeline that buys a year of security patches past the October 14, 2025 end-of-support deadline, but...
Microsoft’s slow, staged rollout of the Windows 10 Enroll now (ESU) wizard means the extension lifeline Microsoft promised for legacy PCs is available — but not instantly visible to everyone, and it comes with conditions and caveats that every Windows 10 user should understand before relying on...

Microsoft’s latest move to shepherd Windows 10 users into safer ground lands as both relief and pressure: a one‑year, largely free Extended Security Updates (ESU) lifeline that lets many holdouts avoid an immediate upgrade — but only if they enroll, often by signing into Microsoft services —...
Windows 11 is preparing to blur the line between phone and PC even further, with a new capability designed to let you resume Android apps directly on your desktop—no emulators, APK installs, or app store detours required. Instead of relaunching an app and hunting for the point where you left off...

Windows 10’s clock is counting down to end of support, and with it comes a hard choice for privacy‑minded users: pay to keep an aging platform patched, accept newer versions of Windows with tighter cloud hooks, or make a clean break to something else entirely. The argument gaining traction is...

Microsoft Edge’s Canary channel has begun surfacing experimental controls that explicitly treat passkeys as first‑class syncable credentials in the browser, adding new flags labeled Passkey roaming and Passkey roaming management and settings, and exposing a combined “Passwords and passkeys” sync...
Microsoft’s 12‑month reprieve for Windows 10 users has changed the migration math — and not in Microsoft’s favor; what looked like a steady march to Windows 11 has stalled, leaving most Windows users once again facing an urgent upgrade decision with security, cost, and hardware implications that...
