Microsoft officially ends support for Windows 10 on Oct. 14, but those who don't want to make the move to Windows 11 yet can now sign up to remain on the aging OS for another year.
Starting today, individuals will begin to see an enrolment wizard through notifications and in Settings, making it simple for users to enrol in extended security updates directly from their personal Windows 10 PC through one of three available options.
1. Cash in 1,000 points from Microsoft's Rewards program; you earn points by using Microsoft's services. Downloading the Bing app alone, for example, gets you 500 points.
2. Sync your Windows Backup to Microsoft OneDrive. While Microsoft won't charge you anything extra for picking this option, you might need to buy extra OneDrive storage to fit your backup. By default, you only get 5GB for free.
3. Pay $30 to receive critical updates for one year.
