Microsoft executives have announced that they will have security updates in Windows 7 for three years, ie until January 2023. They will be security fixes like the ones that Microsoft provides for free to Windows 7 users with "Extended" Support until January 14, 2020.

For Windows 10 customers and Microsoft 365, Microsoft will make Windows 7 ESUs available as an "add-on", according to information that Microsoft announced to its partners.

In the first year (January 2020 – 2021), the add-on will cost $25 per device. The second year (January 2021 – 2022) h it will be $50 per device, and in the third year (January 2022 to January 2023) updates will cost $100 per device.

For users who have and not Windows 10 Enterprise, these update prices will be significantly higher. In the first year, they will cost 50 per device. The second, $100 per device, and the third $200 per device.

These prices ensure the company's customers will receive cumulative security updates to Windows 7 during one year. If customers decide to purchase a support package in year 2 or 3, they will have to pay for the previous years as well.
