Microsoft has extended security updates for Windows 10 by an additional year, now lasting until October 2027. This provides users with more time to transition to Windows 11, though the update requires newer hardware. While the extended support for personal devices is free, businesses will need to pay for continued security updates beyond October 2025. Cybersecurity experts caution that this extension is a temporary measure and users should still aim to upgrade their systems to ensure long-term security. AI
