I heard you can extend windows 10 till Oct. 2026 How?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
My takeaway is that Microsoft is baiting people with the 'free' offer contingent on enabling Windows Backup, knowing that for most people they will end up paying for the needed space on OneDrive.
If you have any experience with OneDrive, you will know it's way less hassle, cheaper and safer to just to buy the ESU. Go sell blood or panhandle or whatever, but scrape up the $30 and save yourself the headaches of OneDrive.
ESU is rolling out to all Windows 10 devices that are running Windows 10, version 22H2 starting with Windows Insiders.
