I heard you can extend windows 10 till Oct. 2026 How?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
It may be easier to find out about the offer closer to the Oct 2025 date and how to do it. However Windows 10 will still be useable and won't suddenly stop working after 2025 or 2026 if you take the offer to extend the support.
You will need to secure the system yourself (as best you can) using a 3rd party AV and a supported browser rather than Edge.
Yes, home users can extend Windows 10 support until October 2026 through the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for about $30, but only for one year.
After that, you'll need to upgrade to Windows 11 for continued support.
