    If you want to keep using Windows 10, check out 0patch! They’re supporting security updates past EOL. It’s like €24/year and you can get a 1 month trial for free.

      For another five years

      They have an interesting concept. I would have liked more info on wood behind it, to assess expertise, and how they identify issues to patch. Only public CVE? Are those always fixable with micro patches?

        They’ve also mentioned elsewhere that they’ll continue support as long as there’s enough of a subscriber base to justify it. If enough people are using it, that 5 years could be much longer. They offer security patches for Windows 7 too.

        I’m not really sure what their process is. I’m just glad to be able to keep my current work flow without having to worry about fully losing security updates.
