New Delhi: Windows 10 support is ending soon this month, which means millions of PC users in India will have a couple of options: either they can buy the updates for the Windows 10 version or upgrade to the latest Windows 11 PC. Microsoft realises the change is going to be drastic for many, leaving them vulnerable if they decide to continue using their Windows 10 PCs. But the company has given few choices for these users, and most of them involve people spending money to continue using their Windows system.
Microsoft does have some unique tricks up its sleeves that give users a free Windows 10 update, but there is no free lunch, and many will be hesitant about falling for the latest launch. Microsoft has shared a detailed post on the changes coming with the Windows 10 support officially ending this year. Windows users offer one year support, which costs them $30 approximately or Rs 2,550, which is quite nominal. Users are not sure how much the people of India will pay for the extension. The company also has a free way for users to get this update.
Most of the people still rely on Windows 10 for their PCs, which is the main reason why Microsoft has to backtrack on its earlier plans. And buying a Windows 11 PC does not come cheap, especially if the users want it with the latest hardware. So, paying a nominal fee to extend Windows 10 support allows these users to continue using their system and eventually upgrade when the market prices settle down.
