#Microsoft Windows 10 update

Aside from the newest Surface devices that were announced recently, Microsoft also announced the October update for Windows 10 and new features for the Office 365. The first update is the previously reported feature which brings the Your Phone App in Windows 10, allowing you to view, send, and receive the SMS from your Android, on your computer. Microsoft Launcher will allow parents to view their children's activities, and location, when it is installed in any of their devices, may it be an Android device, Xbox One, or a Windows 10 PC. Despite Microsoft’s aggressive push to transition users onto Windows 11, a massive chunk of the user base is flatly refusing to give up Windows 10. To keep those legacy machines safe from potential threats, the tech giant introduced the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program last year, allowing personal account users to opt into continued patch coverage. However, Microsoft has quietly updated its support documentation, adding a full extra year to the lifeline. Enrolled consumer devices will now officially continue to receive critical security patches until October 12, 2027. While we would've enjoyed if Microsoft called it the "Extended Extended Security Updates program," it seems like they fully intend for this extension to fly under the radar.
