For businesses that need more time before upgrading to Windows 10, Microsoft has recently released “Extended Security Updates.” In other words: Microsoft will continue creating security updates, but you can only get them if you pay up.
For Professional Versions of windows 7 its $61 per device for the first year. The 2nd year the cost increase $100 per device and for the third year the price will increase to $200 per device.
For Enterprise Windows 7 computers the cost is $25 first year, $50 Second year and $100 third year.
Windows 7 extended support will not be available after calendar year 2022.
These are designed as a stopgap. These updates will get more expensive every year. Microsoft wants businesses, governments, and other organizations to move to a modern version of Windows.
Microsoft won’t sell you these updates directly, and they’re not available through normal retail channels. They can only be purchased through a Microsoft Authorized Partner like Quanexus.
