Is there a way to enable ESU for existing, regular Win10 installs?

    Hi all,

    I'm asking for a family member. Their computer doesn't support Win11 (of course) and they can't afford a new machine nor do they want 11 (they find it confusing and too slow).

    I remember that for Win XP (or was it 7?) there was a way to enable ESU on "regular" installs and get 2--3 more years of security patches.

    Is there something similar going on for Windows 10? Did I miss the post on how to do so on this forum?

    Thanks

    Yes, you can activate ESU with the M.A.S Microsoft activation Script, and got 1 year support more, for home edition
