Keep Windows 10 Secure Beyond 2025 with 0patch

We know many of you are still using Windows 10 and we know many of you don’t want to or can’t upgrade to Windows 11. And some of you will be faced with either buying a new computer or using Windows 10 after Microsoft ends support for it. And we know some of you simply cannot afford to buy a new computer.

October 14, 2025, marks the end of official security updates for Windows 10. This means Microsoft will no longer release patches to fix newly discovered vulnerabilities. This leaves your computer exposed to potential cyberattacks, including malware and ransomware.  

But don’t worry! There’s a solution: 0patch.

What is 0patch?

0patch is a unique security service that provides “micro patches” for critical vulnerabilities. These micro patches are tiny pieces of code that fix the security flaw without requiring a full system update. This means you can keep using Windows 10 securely, even after Microsoft stops supporting it.  

What can 0patch do for you?

  • 0patch ensures your Windows 10 system remains secure by addressing critical vulnerabilities that hackers could exploit.  
  • You can continue using Windows 10 without being pressured to upgrade to a newer (and potentially less familiar) operating system.
  • 0patch is very user-friendly. Installing and using it is simple, even if you aren’t tech-savvy.  
  • It’s free: 0patch offers a free tier specifically for home users, making it accessible to everyone.

Here’s what 0patch has to say:

Patching what’s really important

It would be almost impossible – not to mention superfluous – to eliminate all errors in applications, so we are carefully selecting our micropatching targets to:

  • quickly fix “0days” and unpatched vulnerabilities.
  • micropatch end-of-life and unsupported products (such as Office 2010 or Java runtime).
  • provide patches for legacy OSes and applications (such as Windows 7, Server 2008 R2),
  • patch what’s exploited in the wild,
  • fix vulnerable 3rd party components and customized software.

So, if you can’t upgrade your Windows 10 PC to Windows 11 (or don’t want to) or you can’t afford a new computer, don’t let the end of Windows 10 support leave your computer vulnerable.

0patch free version is available from this page.

While the free version covers Zero Day patches, to get the similar protection as you’re getting now from Microsoft, you’ll need to purchase a 0patch PRO license. As of today, a PRO license costs 24.95 EUR, or about 26 USD per year. I think you’ll agree that’s very inexpensive when compared to a new computer.

Important: While 0patch offers a valuable service, it’s essential to practice good cybersecurity habits, such as using a good antivirus/anti-malware like Emsisoft, using strong passwords, being cautious of suspicious emails and links, and always using common sense online.

    Free 0patch will patch zero-day vulnerabilities only. But to receive all updates to protect your computer you will need to subscribe to 0patch fro around $26 per year (24.95 EUR = 25.63 USD as of today). If you buy the Pro version you will be protected as are now with Windows updates.

    In reading all the information about Opatch on PC Mag, it mentions that while the free version is available now, it will not be free once Windows 10 support ends. It does say that it will be less expensive than the plan MS will offer, and it will not go up in price every year like the MS plan will.

    Wondering when the paid version should be installed (close to end of support or now)… and if it will interfere with Emsisoft.

      Hi it won’t be any benefit to install it now, so wait until 10/15/2025. It won’t interfere with Emsisoft – 0patch is not an antivirus or anti-malware.

    I have known from the beginning that my computer will not run Windows 11. I have 2 laptops that run it but I really don’t like it. I had my computer checked by the gang at Best Buy a while ago and they confirmed my desktop will not run Windows 11. I plan to take your suggestion and run Opatch on the desktop when the time comes. Thank you for your thoughts.
