    I have screenshooted the partial content of the 2022-07 Rollup for windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2.
    We are sure that Server 2012 R2 will have 3-year ESU Support ,and Server 2012 R2 ESU Files are included inside this rollup. But I also discover the ESU files for Client? Do W8.1 Clients Really have ESU?

    And more, I also discovered ESU year 4-6 files for Server 2008 SP2, Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows 7 Client SP1 (Pro and Enterprise) In their Latest Rollup (July 2022).
    And what's that mean? Do those OS have more 3-year ESU Support?

    Why do you need it 15 months before ESU?

    come back next year in 2023 and ask by that time
    as david23 said, it's too early for an esu bypass for that OS

    Maybe ESU is only available for Windows Embedded 8.1 Series... I guess...
    According to MS, they will not provide ESU Updates for Windows 8.1.

    I hope we will be able to install the 2012 R2 ESU Updates on W8.1 as well just like the regular updates.
