Microsoft will end Windows 10 update support on October 14, 2025. However, it also offered an alternative for those who do not want to upgrade the operating system to 11. Accordingly, Microsoft is working on some kind of subscription system. However, the announced Windows 10 subscription fees are a pain in the pocket.
Cheap Windows 10 subscription fees have been announced
The subscription system that we also saw in Windows 7 comes into our lives again with Windows 10. As you know, Microsoft will provide Windows 10 update support until October 14, 2025. However, after this date, computers using Windows 10 will be vulnerable to dangers.
Microsoft announced a subscription system especially for businesses to avoid being victimized in this situation. In fact, this system appeared for the first time in December. Today, Windows 10 subscription fees for institutions have been revealed.
It seems that a subscription system will also emerge for end consumers. However, the fees announced for institutions are quite high. Accordingly, to continue using Windows 10, you have to pay a fee of $61 for the first year. The annoying part is that this fee doubles in the second year, to $122, and in the third year, it increases to $244.
‘Artificial intelligence bubble’ burst! Why is Windows 11 not used?
Which version of Windows is the most used? Windows 11 started to decline again after two months of rise. Here are the details.
Thus, an organization that wants to continue receiving Windows 10 updates faces a high cost of $427 for three years. Of course, it is not mandatory to join the subscription. However, this subscription will allow you to receive updates for Windows 10.
The discontinuation of update support for Windows 10 means that the operating system is vulnerable to attacks. Microsoft will continue to close security vulnerabilities for those who subscribe to this subscription. The real problem here is the difficulty of institutions switching to Windows 11.
Some organizations use Windows with computers that remove older, simpler programs. However, to use Windows 11, certain hardware conditions must be met. It seems that it will not be easy to switch to Windows 11, especially for institutions using old computers. However, to continue using Windows 10, you need to pay a large bill.
So, do you think these new subscription system fees are high? What do you think is the possibility of this subscription system reaching the end user? We are waiting your comments.
