You don’t have to reinstall the system Nor do you have to use POSReady's update You don't have to do anything, just be like you are now Keep using ByPassESU It will be updated until 2026-01/13 Instead, if you switch to POSReady 7 It can only be supported up to POSReady 7End Of Life That is 2024-10/08
Your MDL Novice rating is appropriate. You need to visit this forum more often to stay up to date on ESU news & facts for Win 7. Visit comment #7791 Page 390 of this forum & you will find a link provided by @foo4mdl. The page explains why we have hope until Jan 2026. Yes, the dates you question are real & accurate. The Premium Assurance program is a very happy surprise for many of us. Good hunting... ;>) foo4mdl Comment #7791 Feb 18, 2024
That's great news truthfully hopefully Microsoft is seriously giving support till 2026. I mean I don't think they would lie about that or go back on saying they would give updates till 2026 & just not do it but then this is Microsoft your talking about sadly. So hopefully microsoft is still doing updates till 2026. Though I mostly use simplix update pack instead of bypass esu. So hopefully simplix update pack still manages to get the updates if there is more until 2026.
