I’ll believe that they’ll stop shipping security patches when they actually do it. It would obviously be a terrible idea for the reason you stated.
After October 14, 2025, computers running Windows 10 will still function, but Microsoft will no longer provide the following:
- Technical support of any issue
- Software updates
- Security updates or fixes
I know that’s what they are saying, I guess I think they’ll blink when a large percentage of users don’t buy a whole new computer just for a new Windows version.
They’re not going to stop security updates, they’re going to charge for it. Not sure they really have any incentive to not charge for security updates…
I can’t tell from that text if it’s going to be 30$ a year for up to 3 years per user or if the doubling clause in the How much does ESU Cost? section applies to home users or not - if so, total outlay will be 30+60+120 = 210$.
It’s batshit
