What Do You Think About Windows 10 Extended Security Updates Program?

We know that Microsoft announced the ESU (Extended Security Update) program for the Windows 10 operating system. According to them, ESU will provide security updates to existing Windows 10 devices for a fee. My question is, how many of you will choose Windows 10 ESU over migrating to Windows 11?

I read about this ESU program and do not need it. I upgraded my laptop and PC to Windows 11. However, for those who cannot migrate to Windows 11, the ESU program is helpful. After all, $30 per year is not a big problem.

Hello Xavior, I won't be thrilled with the $30 bill. It is the fee for the first year. Who knows, Microsoft may charge you $100 for the second year.

It's stealing. They know, many devices cannot upgrade to Windows 11.
Windows 10 Extended Security Updates Program- Helpful or Not?

Hello Reshmi R Menon, I see it from a different view. Microsoft will lose all those devices. Eventually, Linux will find a way to those devices.

You are correct Alex. Stopping support for Windows 10 will force people start installing Linux.

I do not think most users will go for Windows 10 Extended Security Update program. They will use the computer same as before with a third party security App. A good firewall and an anti virus will protect the Windows 10 device even after the Microsoft support deadline.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you, Thomas. It is risky to use a version of OS that does not have security support anymore. My personal recommendation is to go for Ubuntu or other Linux distros. A Windows 10 user will not have trouble with the latest Ubuntu GUI.

It’s a good way to keep Windows 10 secure for a little longer, but personally, I’d prefer to move to Windows 11 if I could, just for the new features and better performance.

I think the ESU program is a decent stopgap for those who can't upgrade to Windows 11 yet, but paying annually for security updates feels like a short-term fix. At some point, upgrading or switching to a different OS might be more cost-effective in the long run.

A temporary solutions. The time limit is three years and then Microsoft will stop this program.

Microsoft is forcing its customers to dump their hardware by stopping support for Windows 10. The $30 security update extension is just a drama. Ultimately, we will see a big pile of abandoned hardware.

I am under the impression that all tech corporate companies turn more greedy. Microsoft is no exception, and this $30 bill for one year security update is a trap. They will raise the charge in next year.
