If you’re still using Windows 10 in your business, you’ve probably heard that official support for the product ends in October 2025. But Microsoft has announced an option that lets you get security updates after this point.
This comes via the Extended Security Updates (ESU) product, which will allow you to buy an extra year of security protection for $30. While this means you’ll be safe to continue using Windows 10 for now, keep in mind: No new features will be included.
So, although the ESU extension might sound appealing, it’s worth considering the benefits of upgrading to Windows 11 instead.
Windows 11 is designed with business productivity in mind, offering faster performance, more robust security, and new features that help you streamline your work. From improved multitasking capabilities to smoother cloud integration, Windows 11 could boost your team’s efficiency in a big way.
Starting the upgrade process now can save time and avoid disruption later down the line. Essentially, the extended support option is a short-term fix, whereas switching to Windows 11 now makes your business future-ready.
