In an age of fast and furious technological development, it’s simple to feel outdated, particularly when your dependable old devices appear to have been abandoned by their makers.
But for those of us still attached to our cherished Windows 10 machines, here’s some good news:in a blog post, 0patch has declared its intention to prolong the existence of Windows 10 by offering an extra five years’ worth of support after it is officially recognized as having reached end-of-life status.
This way, you can continue using your current device without serious security risks. Isn’t it a relief? especially if the other option is to upgrade to Windows 11 but aren’t happy with it, struggle with the new interface, or worry about possible privacy issues.
0patch has served us before for Windows 7 and Server 2008. Additionally, their patches are small, so you can apply them without restarting your computer again. Plus, if anything goes awry, 0patch can quickly reverse the changes.
Now, for those thinking about what to do after October 2025, when Windows 10 stops giving out free updates, you might be in a similar situation. You can stay with an unsupported OS and expect good outcomes, give money to Microsoft for theirExtended Security Program, or try0patchas a cheaper and less disturbing answer.
This service is not free but gives you peace of mind because it fixes important weaknesses and even patches non-Microsoft products. A yearly subscription costs ~$27 per computer/business or $37 per device for medium or large organizations.
As you can see above, 0patch’s yearly subscription expense appears reasonable for people who are not yet prepared to switch to Windows 11.
What can you do to prepare for October 2025? If you are a normal home user or manage a small business, it might be good to familiarize yourself with 0patch and try their PRO trial.
Organizations should start assessing and testing this new technology earlier rather than later. Moreover, for those who want to keep using Windows 10 PCs, 0patch might provide a fresh opportunity for these devices.
The official support of Windows 10 might be a hint that its time is coming to an end. However, it’s not all bad news. There are options available to us, like 0patch, which could help keep our devices safe and functioning for many more years.
