Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 updates on October 14, 2025. However, for those who do not want to upgrade to 11, Microsoft has offered an alternative. According to this, Microsoft is working on a kind of subscription system. However, the announced Windows 10 subscription fees are burning a hole in the pocket.
The wallet-burning Windows 10 subscription fees have been revealed
The subscription system, which we also saw in Windows 7, is making a comeback 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 risks.
Microsoft has announced a subscription system, especially to prevent businesses from being affected by this situation. In fact, this system first emerged in December. Today, the Windows 10 subscription fees for enterprises have been revealed.
It seems that a subscription system will also be introduced for end consumers. However, the fees announced for businesses are quite high. According to this, to continue using Windows 10, you need to pay $61 in the first year. The frustrating part is that this fee doubles to $122 in the second year and increases to $244 in the third year.
As a result, a company that wants to continue receiving Windows 10 updates faces a high cost of $427 for three years. Of course, joining the subscription is not mandatory. However, this subscription will allow you to receive updates for Windows 10.
The cessation of update support for Windows 10 means that the operating system will be vulnerable to attacks. Microsoft will continue to patch security vulnerabilities for those subscribed to this service. The main difficulty here lies in the transition of businesses to Windows 11.
Some companies use computers that run older and simpler programs with Windows. However, transitioning to Windows 11 requires meeting certain hardware requirements. It seems that it won’t be easy for companies using older computers to switch to Windows 11. However, continuing to use Windows 10 also requires paying a hefty bill.
What do you think about these new subscription system fees? How do you feel about the possibility of this subscription system being introduced to end-users? We look forward to hearing your comments.
