Windows 10 Support Has Now Ended! Take Action Now to Secure Your Devices.

If you have not already taken actions following the end of Windows 10, you must follow one of these 3 steps in order to secure your devices:

1. Upgrade 

If your device is compatible, simply go ahead and ugrade to Windows 11! Don't hesitate to contact AQUA if you have any trouble updating your system. Click here for the Windows 11 Install Assistant.


2. Replacement

For incompatible devices, one option is to replace your device with one compatible with Windows 11. Our team will assist you in identifying the best replacement options at the most reasonable prices. Contact AQUA now for support or advice.


3. Windows ESU

Microsoft is now offering an alternative option for devices incompatible with Windows 11: Windows ESU (Extended Security Updates) programa safety net that provides up to three extra years of
critical security updates after Windows 10 support ends. Contact us now to discuss if Windows ESU is right for you.

 

What to Know About Windows ESU

  • Annual subscription: £46 per device in Year 1 (doubling each year).

  • Available for Windows 10 version 22H2 only.

  • Covers security fixes only (no new features or general technical support).

  • Some Microsoft-hosted virtual machines (Azure, Windows 365, etc.) may qualify for ESU at no extra cost.

Things to consider: 

  • Weigh your options – ESU buys time, but upgrading or refreshing may be more cost-effective long-term.

  • Plan ahead – ESU pricing doubles each year, so budgeting early matters.

  • Check your virtual setups – You might already qualify for free ESU coverage.
