Microsoft reveals costs of Windows 10 end of life security update — and it might be more than you'd expect
Upgrading your business from Windows 10 may be costlier than you expect
You're viewing a single thread.
The cost of ditching Windows 10 at your business and upgrading to the latest software might end up being a rather expensive process, Microsoft has revealed. Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, with businesses then needing to pay out for its Extended Security Updates (ESU).
Why would anyone pay for extended support if they're ditching Windows 10 and upgrading to 11?
I understood it to mean: updating to 11 will have a cost, which comes as no surprise, but this time NOT updating also has a significant cost*. Meaning it's not a clear cut decision for the beancounters, like the endless delays some firms had moving off XP and 7.
*Assuming you still give a shit about being secure.
I'm confused, where is ditching 10 mentioned?
It's the fourth word in the quote.
Haha that took me way too long to get.
No idea what you're talking about, it wasn't a joke.
Yeah the title makes no sense.
