Expensive Windows 10 support is probably intended for businesses to become a Windows 11 user. Karoliina Paavilainen
Microsoft’s most popular operating system is still Windows 10, although its support ends in October this year. Of course, use can also be continued after the end of the aid. However, security remains questionable because possible vulnerabilities in the operating system are no longer remedied.
Windows 10 gives you three years to extend your payment for three years. However, its prices, especially for a business user, are quite cheeky.
Microsoft’s website can be found the latest explanation From the support of Windows 10. It was published on 22 January, though it is not available in Finnish.
In the first year, the subsidy of Windows 10 costs $ 61, or about $ 59, in the first year.

The following year, the price will double, ie $ 122 for the second year. The third year, on the other hand, continues to pay double for $ 244.
Thus, a total of three years of subsidy will be $ 427, or about $ 413. At this price, the employee would normally get an entire computer.
Also, you cannot apply for your support. For example, if you only buy support in the third year, you will also have to pay the first and second support payments.
Windows Latest describes this as a punishment because a late -buying user loses benefits, but still has to pay as much as if he had been involved from the beginning.
High prices try to get business users to move to Windows 11, Windows Latest thinks. However, its equipment requirements are higher than the previous Windows, so many companies have to buy new equipment in addition to Windows 11 licenses.
In addition to business users, ordinary Windows users can also purchase extended support for their device. It costs only $ 30, but it also gets only three years instead of three.
