The Real Math: Windows ESU Fees vs. A Clean Linux Migration
Microsoft’s standard support for Windows 10 has concluded. If you intend to safely operate your desktop without upgrading your physical computer or dealing with aggressive Windows 11 tracking, here is how the numbers break down over the next three years:
| Cost Type | Microsoft Windows 10 ESU Path | Geek Squad DIY Route | Our Managed Linux Migration Path |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 Cost | $61 per commercial device | Backup & Transfer ($100–250) + OS Reinstall ($100–250) = $200–500, no verified restore | One-time flat service fee |
| Year 2 Cost | $122 per device (doubles) | — | $0 |
| Year 3 Cost | $244 per device (doubles again) | — | $0 |
| Hardware Costs | $600 – $1,500+ if forced to upgrade | $0 | $0 (breathes new life into your current PC) |
| Data Privacy | Continual background tracking and forced telemetry | No guarantee | Total Control. Zero corporate data scraping. |
Our Flat-Rate Service Tiers
Private Desktop Migration Plan
A complete operating system migration for personal workstations, laptops, and home offices — encrypted backup, guided install, verified restore.

- Live USB Compatibility Check: We verify your Wi-Fi, display, and audio work correctly in a non-destructive test boot before you commit to installation.
- Assisted Linux Deployment: Screen-by-screen guided installation of a polished, user-friendly Linux environment matched to your hardware.
- Restore & Application Mapping: Safe restoration of all documents, browser history, bookmarks, and local application configuration profiles.
- 14-Day Safety Retention: Your server backup remains securely encrypted on our East US infrastructure for exactly 14 days as an emergency safety net before being permanently purged.
Add-On: Sandbox-Verified Backup
For clients who want proof — not just a promise — that their backup is complete and uncorrupted before their Windows installation is touched.
$89 / Per device
- Isolated VM Test-Restore: We restore your encrypted backup into a completely separate sandbox environment on our infrastructure and confirm every file opens correctly.
- Written Verification Report: You receive explicit confirmation that your backup integrity has been tested and passed, before we proceed to Phase 3.
- Recommended for: Business owners, anyone migrating a machine with irreplaceable data (financial records, professional archives, family photos with no other copy), or anyone who simply wants zero ambiguity before their drive is touched.
Add-On: 1-on-1 Linux Deep-Dive Training
An optional, highly structured personal onboarding session to bypass the operating system learning curve entirely.
$125 / Per 90-minute dedicated session
- Peripheral Configuration: Live mapping and verification of your home printer, network scanners, and local external backup drives inside your new Linux desktop.
- Application Mapping Workflow: We walk through your daily software routine, configuring alternatives like LibreOffice, Thunderbird mail imports, and cross-platform password vaults.
- System Maintenance Training: Learn how to apply system security patches safely, install new software via secure app stores, and manage your new workspace layout.
- Recorded for Reference: You receive a secure download link to a video recording of your training session to review at your own pace.
Why choose an engineer-led migration over a DIY install?
A modern Linux installation takes less than 30 minutes. The actual challenge is data safety and software continuity. If you wipe your drive without a client-side encrypted backup, or without extracting local browser metadata, your files are gone forever. Every plan — even our base tier — includes an encrypted backup taken before your Windows installation is touched. Sandbox verification adds a second, independently tested layer of proof for clients who want it.
