Microsoft Offers Free Windows 10 Extended Security Updates: Here's How to Get Them

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-08 12:06:00

Microsoft is closing the door on Windows 10 in October 2025, and will be ceasing security support for that operating system unless users pay $30 for a one-year extended security update. Now, Microsoft has added a free option. Users need to turn on cloud backup and connect it to their OneDrive account. The ability to get free updates on Windows 10 is a pretty big deal because it is still the most widely used Windows OS, accounting for just over 53% of installs as of May 2025. That leaves million

Final GOP bill kneecaps renewables and hydrogen but lifts nuclear and geothermal
