The free Windows 10 extended support program was only supposed to last until October 13th, 2026, but Microsoft has quietly expanded support until October 12th, 2027. That gives users an extra year to avoid updating to Windows 11, or forking out for a new computer amid the ongoing RAMageddon.

If you do not want to switch from Windows 10, Microsoft has some good news: the operating system is getting one more year of support.

Noch bis Oktober 2026 sollten Windows-10-Nutzer Sicherheitsupdates laden können. Jetzt hat Microsoft den Zeitraum überraschend verlängert.

About a quarter of PCs are still running Microsoft's previous operating system.
