Extend Security Updates for Windows 10 through October 2026?
Extend Security Updates for Windows 10 through October 2026?
MS indicates that you can sign up to receive extended security updates for Windows 10 until October 13, 2026. Visiting the Enroll page presents a confusing and unrelated experience, making it hard to understand next steps. Others have faced the same issue.
But I used Flyoobe (an app), which had a button for enrollment. I did it, and all three of my PCs were enrolled for free. Note: my underline. I’m not sure if Flyoobe could officially do that or if it violates Microsoft rules. Going around hardware limits is one thing, but circumventing licensing and support rules is another... And help with the latter might break Forum guidelines.
My pc satisfies all the requirements, and I possess licenses for every machine. From what I understand, Flyoobe is a method to install Windows 11 with options to verify, allowing you to debloat the installation. I intended to use it for installing 11 (since I have a licensed version of Windows 10 on all my devices), but upon seeing the ESU button, I proceeded instead. It seems I wasn’t bypassing anything; I didn’t receive an enrollment notice, and everything appears compliant.
I regret any misunderstanding, but it looks like there was no attempt to bypass licensing, as all my machines are properly licensed. MS PC Health Check confirms compliance, which makes me confused about why this seems to involve bypassing licensing rules.
Please let me know what exactly happened.
