Don't want to fork over $30 for a one-year subscription to Windows 10 Extended Security Updates? Microsoft is offering a couple of ways to avoid the fee. But there is a catch.

Those options include syncing settings to the cloud to receive a year of Windows 10 security updates for free or paying $30 per device to receive the same updates. You can also redeem 1,000 Microsoft reward points to receive one year of security updates. Commercial users have different subscription options and pricing that increases each year.

Microsoft says support for Windows 10 will end on October 14. If you or your business rely it, here's how to keep getting security updates.
