Q: How long do you plan to provide security patches for Windows 10 after October 2025?

A: We initially plan to provide security patches for 5 years, but will extend that period if there is sufficient demand. (We're now in year 5 of Windows 7 support and will extend it further.)

Q: What is 0patch FREE?

A: 0patch FREE is a free 0patch plan that only includes "0day patches", i.e., patches for vulnerabilities that don't have an official vendor fix available (yet). 0patch FREE does not include security patches needed for keeping Windows 10 secure after October 2025. Please see this article for more information on restrictions regarding 0patch FREE.



Home users and small businesses who want to keep using Windows 10 but don't need enterprise features like central management, patching policies and users with different roles, should do the following:

Read our Help Center articles to familiarize yourself with 0patch.
Create a free 0patch account.
Install 0patch Agent on your computer(s).
See how 0patch works with your apps, report any issues to support@0patch.com.
Purchase licenses.
In October 2025, apply the last Windows Updates.
Let 0patch take over Windows 10 patching.
