Скачать или смотреть Microsoft's $30 monthly Windows 10 fee

Windows 10 officially reaches end-of-support on October 14, 2025.
To keep getting security updates after that date, Microsoft is offering an Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. For a one-year extension, home users can pay US$ 30 per PC. The $30 license gives you “critical” and “important” security patches only — no new features, bug-fixes beyond security, or ongoing support. As of mid-2025 (before support ends), Microsoft added alternative, free options for many users: instead of paying, you can get the extra year of updates by either: using its built-in Windows Backup to sync your settings to the cloud (which requires signing in with a Microsoft account) OR redeeming 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points.

Bottom line: The “$30 fee” isn’t a fee to use Windows 10 — it’s a fee to keep receiving security updates for one more year after the official support ends. If you don’t pay (or take one of the free alternative routes), Windows 10 will still run — but without any future security patches.
