In other announcements, Microsoft has quietly extended Windows 10 support for another year to 2027. You can enroll in Extended Security Updates (ESU) program any time until the program ends on October 12, 2027.

This is totally not an admission that Windows 10 is still over 25% of the install base even 5 years after Windows 11 released.

To enroll, make sure your device meets the following requirements – most notably they want you to use your Microsoft account and not any local accounts:

• Devices need to be running Windows 10, version 22H2 Home, Professional, Pro Education, or Workstations edition.
• Devices need to have the latest Windows update installed. Learn how to install Windows updates.
• The Microsoft account used to sign in to the device must be an administrator account.
  • The ESU license will be associated with the Microsoft account used to enroll. You may be prompted to sign in with a Microsoft account if you typically sign into Windows with a local account.
