Windows 10’s Free Extra Year — What It Means for You | Compute This

Windows 10 is winding down, but there's a twist: home users just got another free year of security updates, while businesses face a Microsoft bill that doubles every year they wait. This episode tells you how much time you really have — and what dragging your feet will cost.

From there, Thor covers the scams targeting your parents, why your next computer or game console is about to get pricier, and the jaw-dropping story of a security exec who tore out his own company's two-factor login.

In this episode:
- The Windows 10 split: free updates for home users, a doubling annual bill for businesses
- Fast turnaround at the shops — plus we're hiring
- Fake tech-support sites and remote-access scams, and how to shield the less tech-savvy people you love
- AI's chip crunch is quietly raising prices on computers, consoles, even tiny capacitors — why buying now can pay off
- The security boss who ripped out his own company's two-factor login (and what he knew that you don't)

Anyone trying to make smart, money-saving tech decisions for their home or small business will enjoy this episode.
