Overview

• The ESU registration link is now surfacing on some Windows 10 machines under Settings > Windows Update, with others seeing a notice that registration will be available soon as the rollout progresses.
• Enrollment offers two paths: a one‑time payment of about $30 for devices using a local account, or enrollment by signing in and staying signed in with a Microsoft account.
• The ESU provides security‑only patches from October 15, 2025 through October 13, 2026 and does not include feature updates.
• A single ESU registration can unlock updates for up to ten devices associated with the same account.
• Eligibility requires Windows 10 version 22H2, an activated Home/Pro‑class license, current updates, and administrator rights, with consumer access reported as free in the EEA and generally paid elsewhere.
