Microsoft will charge users $30 for security updates if they plan to keep using Windows 10 past its end-of-support date (Oct 10, 2025). Enterprise customers must pay $61 for one year, $122 for a second and $244 for three years.
So umm… Could you technically pirate these updates? Someone could just nab the installer files and share them publicly. I find it hard to imagine that Microsoft built countermeasures for OS update-piracy.
People will probably just post a Powershell script on Github to make it update directly from the official servers without paying the extra fee. It’s funny how the most popular activation scripts are on Github, even though Microsoft owns Github and could easily just delete them.
