Once Microsoft drops support for Windows 10 in 2025, the company says users must sign up for an 'Extended Security Update' program.

      False; it’s now going to be offered to consumers, too.

      That’s the entire article, you’re welcome.

        Given that the alternative for consumers was to not get security updates at all, that’s pretty sweet. I’d either upgrade to Windows 11, or swap to Linux though.
