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.
notify me when I can purchase the extended end of life support for Windows 10.

I fully agree with you Gary and i wonder how many more were convinced by Microsofts Staterment that windows 10 was to be the last version in fact i am surprised that no one has tried to launce a class action case against Microsoft if they purchased a high end computer as a result of the Statement that windows 10 was to be the last version.
personally i am considering a move to linux or a framework laptop as they are upgradeable
I remember when Windows 10 first came out Microsoft told us it would be the last version of Windows we would ever need to buy so I bought the best PC money could buy and it is still very powerful by today's standards but still does not qualify for Windows 11 Upgrade.
How many loyal Windows users will view this as a last straw and choose to upgrade to Linux or Apple instead.
How many good computer systems will be junked and billions wasted just because Microsoft has chosen to store security and encryption data on a chip instead safely encrypted on disk.
And how long will it be before hackers have figured a way to get into that chip as well forcing us all to move to Windows 12.
I want to buy windows 10 security update
