Updates through this program will not introduce new features or improvements.<\/p>\n<h4>Will Microsoft Defender Antivirus continue to receive updates?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes, whether you sign up for the program or not, Microsoft will continue to offer definition updates for the Microsoft Defender Antivirus until 2028.<\/p>\n<h4>Will the Microsoft 365 app continue to receive updates?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes, whether you sign up for the program or not, Microsoft will continue to offer updates for Word, Excel, and the other apps. However, they will not receive new features.<\/p>\n<h4>How long will Windows 10 continue to receive security updates?<\/h4>\n<p>Windows 10 support will end on October 14, 2025, and the ESU program will continue to offer updates for an additional year, <strong>until October 13, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4>When will the ESU enrollment option be available on your PC?<\/h4>\n<p>The enrollment option for the ESU program should now be available for most devices. However, Microsoft has noted previously that it&#8217;s slowly rolling out the option, meaning that if you can&#8217;t find the option, you may have to wait a little longer. If the option isn&#8217;t available by October 14, 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/fix-missing-windows-10-esu-enroll-option\/\">follow these troubleshooting steps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>How many PCs can I enroll in the Extended Security Updates?<\/h4>\n<p>You can enroll <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/windows\/windows-10-consumer-extended-security-updates-esu-program-33e17de9-36b3-43bb-874d-6c53d2e4bf42#cw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">up to 10 devices<\/a> in the ESU program with the same Microsoft account. This means that paying the $30 enrollment fee once will cover multiple devices with critical security updates.<\/p>\n<h4>When should I enroll in the security updates program?<\/h4>\n<p>You should update to the program as soon as the option is available, before the support ends. However, you can still sign up for the program after the support ends, but please note that you won&#8217;t be extending the support beyond October 13, 2026.<\/p>\n<h4>What are the requirements to enroll in the Extended Security Updates?<\/h4>\n<p>The Extended Security Updates program is available for computers running <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/upgrade-windows-10-22h2-update-assistant\/\">Windows 10 22H2<\/a> with the latest cumulative updates already applied.<\/p>\n<p>You also need to be signed in with an administrator account that is linked to a Microsoft account, as the Extended Security Updates validation is associated with your Microsoft account.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using a <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/link-local-account-microsoft-account-windows-11\/\">local account<\/a>, you&#8217;ll be prompted to sign in with your Microsoft account to proceed.<\/p>\n<h4>Do I need to enroll in the ESU program?<\/h4>\n<p>No, if you have a compatible computer, you should <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/upgrade-windows-10-windows-11\/\">upgrade to Windows 11<\/a>. This offering is intended for those who require additional time to transition to the newer version of the operating system.<\/p>\n<h4>Can I upgrade to Windows 11 after enrolling in ESU?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes, you can upgrade to Windows 11 at any time while in the Extended Security Updates program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update October 13, 2025:<\/strong> This guide has been updated to ensure accuracy and reflect changes to the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can now enroll your PC in the ESU program to keep getting security updates for an additional year after of Windows 10 ends in October 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179070,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2426,23],"tags":[95,19,2540,2576],"class_list":["post-179056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","category-windows","tag-difficulty-level-beginner","tag-how-to","tag-windows-10","tag-windows-help"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
