Windows 10 Support Ends, Free Security Extension Available
Microsoft has officially moved Windows 10 to its “end of life” phase as of October 14, according to reports. While existing installations will continue to function, they will no longer receive critical security updates by default, leaving users vulnerable to malware. Sources indicate that Microsoft is now offering a free path to Extended Security Updates (ESU) for eligible users in the U.S., extending protection for up to 12 months.
