An enrollment wizard will be available through notifications and in Settings, making it easy to enroll in ESU directly from your personal Windows 10 PC. Through the enrollment wizard, you’ll be able to choose from three options:
- Use Windows Backup to sync your settings to the cloud—at no additional cost…
- Redeem 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points
- Pay $30 USD (local pricing may vary).
Once you select an option and follow the on-screen steps, your PC will automatically be enrolled. ESU coverage for personal devices runs from Oct. 15, 2025, through Oct. 13, 2026. Starting today, the enrollment wizard is available in the Windows Insider Program and will begin rolling out as an option to Windows 10 customers in July, with broad availability expected by mid-August
When I see stories like this, what annoys me the most, is that people are still dumb enough to use Microsoft, and proprietary software in general.
It’s not because they’re dumb, it’s because it’s easy and because it’s the OS a computer comes with (with the tiny exception of some systems where you can choose linux).
Calling people dumb for using an insanely popular product is pretty unnecessary. Some grandma just playing solitaire on her old PC that she uses to pay bills and whatnot on and you walk by, “you dumbass, use Linux instead!”
Yes, because some grandma is exactly the kind of people I meant. And not her stupid children or friends who might have helped her with a Linux system instead. /s
My guess is you are just butthurt, because you are part of the problem, and not the solution.
