The ESU program allows Windows 10 users to continue receiving critical monthly security updates beyond the official support period. Users can enroll in the program by accessing an "Enroll Now" option within the Windows Update settings. For home users, there are three primary enrollment options: using Windows Backup to sync settings to the cloud, redeeming 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points, or paying $30 USD (local pricing may vary) to cover up to 10 PCs on a single account [2].
Microsoft has also warned users about the upcoming end-of-support dates for certain Windows 11 versions. For instance, Windows 11 version 22H2 (Enterprise and Education editions) will reach end of servicing on October 14, 2025, while Windows 11 version 23H2 (Home and Pro editions) is scheduled to end support on November 11, 2025. Users on these versions must similarly plan to upgrade to stay protected against cyber risks [3].
As the deadline approaches, it is crucial for Windows 10 users—whether individuals or organizations—to take timely action by either upgrading to Windows 11 or enrolling in the Extended Security Updates program. Failure to act will leave devices vulnerable to security breaches and operational issues.
