@Enthousiast so there is a wary to continue getting updates.? the ones microsoft offers if you enroll.
What is the latest build number (10.0.19045.xxxx) someone should have if he has installed all the updates until this month?
Windows 10 has nothing to enroll in, except the ESU to get updates. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1571109

So Microsoft quietly decided to offer one more year of Windows 10 consumer ESU, until October 2027. I would not have thought Microsoft would back down and offer one more year of ESU updates after insisting that consumers would only be offered 1 year of ESU earlier. What makes it change its mind, I wonder? Are there significantly enough number of PC users who have refused to move to Windows 11 forced its hand, perhaps?
Looks like Windows 10 becomes another Windows XP/7 case. Plus, they probably fear losing many users with "not Windows 11 ready" PCs to Linux, possibly permanently.
There are hundreds of millions of these "not Windows 11 ready" PCs in the world, and consumers (and businesses) are not simply going to throw them away just because they cannot officially support Windows 11 when these PCs still work properly, especially during the current times when the prices of PC components and PCs are all pretty high and still rising. I have a number of these PCs myself, and there is no way I will dump them now as they still work fine. So yeah, I should not be surprised that Microsoft decided to back down and extend the Windows 10 consumer ESU for one year. As Apoly said, it is quite possible we will see another extension in 2027.
I also have PCs not meeting the requirements. The thought process is simple: With a one year extension, the number of people still on Windows will be higher next year, and by them, some of them will have new hardware ready that supports 11, not losing them to other OS.
