- Microsoft extended the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for Windows 10 by an additional year, moving the end date from October 12, 2026, to October 12, 2027.
- This change follows a previous free year of extended updates, as Windows 11 adoption had just surpassed Windows 10 when official support ended in 2025.
- Microsoft's history of extending support for older operating systems, like Windows XP, reflects challenges in migrating users, with Windows 10 still widely used years after Windows 11's release.
