So, the inevitable Microsoft Windows version 10 end of life is finally here.

So, the inevitable Microsoft Windows version 10 end of life is finally here. This isn't just a technical deadline, it’s a major risk management event for the hundreds of millions of PCs still running the deprecating OS. Microsoft is forcing a decision: undertake a hardware refresh for Windows 11, accept the risk of running an unsupported version of Windows, or pay for the Extended Security Update reprieve. For many businesses, the hardware simply can't support the new OS, so paying for ESUs becomes the only real option to avoid creating a massive, insecure attack surface. That's what you get for kicking the can... 🦵🥫

TL;DR
The October 14 security update will be the last for Windows 10.
An estimated 600 million users still need to migrate or find a solution.
Your two main choices are upgrading to Windows 11 or paying for Extended Security Updates (ESU).
️ The ESU enrollment link is rolling out slowly, so you need to be checking for it now, not later.
