Windows 10 just got another year of life.

Microsoft has quietly extended the ESU program, meaning eligible users can continue receiving security updates through October 12, 2027.

The updated support page states:

"Windows 10 support has ended. You can enroll in ESU any time until the program ends on October 12, 2027. If you’re already enrolled, your coverage will automatically continue through that date—no action needed."
