From October 14, 2025, poof, no more support for the OS. The only option for enjoying a few more years of updates: opt for a special license. The latter, which can be purchased via Windows 365, offers extended support… But it’s not free. In fact, the first year will cost you something like $61.
After that, the cost doubles every year for the next three years. Year 2 is $122, then $244 for the third year. If you decide in year 2 (2026), it will cost you the price of both years, 2025 and 2026, i.e. $305.
For companies wishing to continue with this OS over a number of years, discounts of 25% are available on high-volume license purchases. In Year 1, the price drops from $61 to $45.
