Paid extended security updates start when Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025. The price doubles each year. The amounts are per device, not per user. The announcement was dated April 2024, with no day given.
Who is affected
Commercial devices that stay on Windows 10 after the end of support.
| Year | Per device | 50 devices |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $61 | $3,050 |
| Year 2 | $122 | $6,100 |
| Year 3 | $244 | $12,200 |
Fifty devices is the recorded per-device price times 50. This is not a per-user license.
What to do before renewal
- Late enrollment requires paying for the prior years as well.
- Price a hardware refresh against the per-device ESU cost. Extended security updates are a bridge, not a plan.
