Windows 11???

Your puter is old and doesn't meet the minimum specs to run W11. I had 2 ancient ones that fit that bill, gave one to Mud and the other one had the decency to go tits up so it was replaced...

I don't think so, just make sure you've got antiviral programs and maybe use a VPN when you go surfing to "nasty" places...

I wouldn't sweat it too much because you're hardware li

run this free option whenever your computer runs slow or claims you must upgrade systems.

Ok, took a little maneuvering but I got to where I needed - another year of Windows 10 updates for free.

My 4th gen Intel i7 isn't up to the task of Windows 11 but works perfectly.

Want to give the rest if us a hint?

My two machines at work have the same problem. Not qualified for 11 and I'm trying to retire, so not buying new machines.

Basically I had to make sure my Windows 10 version 22H2 had all available updates installed.
Next, make sure you are logged into Windows with your MS account (mine is my hotmail email) as administrator. (settings/account/your info), not a local account.

Once that's all worked out, you should see an ESU option when you go into settings/updates and security.
At least that's how I remember doing it lol.

It was free (not $30) because my settings had already been uploaded to OneDrive.

Thank you.

I'll rake a crack at it.

My ESU must be active, since Windows 10 ended on 10/14/25

IM GONNA STICK WITH 10

I'm still running W10 on my desktop, but I get security updates for another year.

Same for me, I'll be staying with Win 10. Hell, there are still folks running Win 7 with no problems. As Cany said, we're all nobodies.

Wonderful!

Wonderful!

Guess thats bad?

Nope, ESU's are working as advertised.

Downloaded TurboTax 2025 for 43% off - Cyber Monday deal.
TT 2025 will not work with Windows 10, so I installed on my laptop instead.

If you are stuck with Windows 10, it did mention a workaround using TurboTax Online and then filing only through Windows 10..

Just a heads up!
